Asking readers to consider the revolution less a fixed event than an ongoing and open-ended history resonating across the work of Atlantic world intellectuals, Glick argues that these writers use the Haitian Revolution as a watershed to chart their own radical political paths, animating, enriching, and framing their artistic and scholarly projects. Spanning the disciplines of literature, philosophy, and political thought, \u003cem\u003eThe Black Radical Tragic\u003c\/em\u003e explores work from Lorraine Hansberry, Sergei Eisenstein, Edouard Glissant, Malcolm X, and others, ultimately enacting a speculative encounter between Bertolt Brecht and C.L.R. James to reconsider the relationship between tragedy and revolution. In its grand refusal to forget, \u003cem\u003eThe Black Radical Tragic\u003c\/em\u003e demonstrates how the Haitian Revolution has influenced the ideas of freedom and self-determination that have propelled Black radical struggles throughout the modern era.","brand":"New York University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47131040219376,"sku":"9781479885664","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781479885664_p0.jpg?v=1763618497","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781479885664","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
