The UCSB Center for Black Studies Research presents
A Reading and Discussion Series on the Black Radical Tradition
This yearlong series examines how we might read US and world history differently through the lens of African/Black epistemologies and the history of Black struggle, and what these ideas and movements have to tell us about the workings of racial capitalism, slavery, colonialism, and violence as well as collective efforts to refashion freedom and democracy.
