A History of Pan-African Revolt by Cyril Lionel Robert James Pdf
A welcome reissue of the pioneering work on Black resistance, with a superb new introduction by Robin D G Kelley. "No piece of literature can substitute for a crystal ball, and only religious fundamentalists believe that a book can provide comprehensive answers to all questions. But if nothing else, A History of Pan-African Revolt leaves us with two incontrovertible facts. First, as long as Black people are denied freedom, humanity, and a decent standard of living, they will continue to revolt. Second, unless these revolts involve the ordinary masses and take place on their own terms, they have no hope of succeeding." [from the introduction by Robin D G Kelley]
