SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
In 1968, as protests shook France and war raged in Vietnam, the giants of black radical politics descended on Montreal to discuss the unique challenges and struggles facing their black comrades all over the world. Against a backdrop of widespread racism in the West and ongoing colonialism and imperialism in the Global South, this group of activists, writers, and political figures gathered to discuss the history and struggles of people of African descent and the meaning of black power. For the first time since 1968, Austin brings alive the speeches and debates of the most important international gathering of black radicals of the era. Includes never-before-seen texts from Stokely Carmichael, Walter Rodney and C.L.R. James. --From publisher description.
