This episode of The Dig is brought to you by our supporters on Patreon.com

and by Verso Books, which has loads of great left-wing titles perfect for

dig listeners like you.

One new book from Verso that might be of interest

is Futures of Black Radicalism,

edited by Gay Theresa Johnson and Alex Lubin.

Black Rebellion has returned.

Dramatic protests have risen up in scores of cities and campuses.

There is renewed engagement with the history of Black radical movements and thought.

Here, key intellectuals, inspired by the new movements and by the seminal work of the scholar Cedric

J Robinson, recall the powerful tradition of black

radicalism while defining new directions for the activists and thinkers it

inspires. This book makes clear that new black radical politics is

thoroughly internationalist and redraws the links between black resistance and

anti-capitalism. Futures of black radicalism features the key voices in this new intellectual wave,

including Greg Burris, Jordan T. Camp, Angela Davis, Ruth Wilson Gilmore, and many more.

Futures of Black Radicalism, out now from Verso Books.
