Can Black Marxists Imagine the Unimaginable?
Black Agenda Radio with Margaret Kimberley and Glen Ford
30 Mar 2020
🖨️ Print Article

“There’s always something new that we couldn’t anticipate,” said Minkah Makalani, professor of African and African American Studies at the University of Texas at Austin. The unimaginable suddenly becomes a problem or opportunity to be confronted. He compares that crossroads to the advent of “dub music, and how it emerged almost accidentally.” Makalani authored an article titled “The Politically Unimaginable in Black Marxist Thought.”
