When Black Lives Matter emerged in 2013, it animated the most consequential Black-led

mobilization since the civil rights and Black power era. Today, the hashtag turned rallying cry

is but one expression of a radical reorientation toward Black politics, protest, and political thought.

To Build a Black Future offers a revelatory account of a new political culture,

responsive to pain, suffused with joy, and premised on care, emerging from the centuries-long

arc of Black rebellion. Drawing on his own experiences as an activist and organizer,

Christopher Paul Harris takes readers inside the movement for Black Lives to chart the

propulsive trajectory of Black politics and thought from the middle passage to the present moment.

Harris reveals how the radical politics of joy, pain, and care in sharp contrast to liberal

political thought can build a Black future that transcends ideology and pushes the boundaries
