None of Us Is Free Unless All Are Free: Anti-Imperialism and the Black Radical Tradition

Co-presented with the W.E.B. Du Bois Department of Afro-American Studies, the UMass Amherst History Department Feinberg Series, and the College of Humanities and Fine Arts

From joining with First Nations peoples to contest European settlement to protesting the annexation of foreign territory, the political struggles waged by African Americans have fostered a vibrant Black Radical Tradition consistently opposed to U.S. imperialism. Those drawing on this tradition have not only protested U.S. invasions of other nations as a matter of principle, but also highlighted the interconnections between injustices waged abroad and oppression at home. In doing so, this tradition has often served as the basis for solidarity with those struggling against U.S. imperialism, a solidarity that has helped to inform radical movements here against patriarchy, white supremacy, and capitalist exploitation.

This event will be live in Bowker Auditorium and on Zoom. A recording will be available on the Feinberg Series website and the History Department's YouTube and Soundcloud. Spanish interpretation and closed captioning will be available.
