Yet too often the voices of African American resistance have been neglected, silenced, or forgotten. In this timely book, Alex Zamalin considers key moments of resistance to demonstrate its current and future necessity, focusing on five activists across two centuries who fought to foreground slavery and racial injustice in American political discourse. Struggle on Their Minds shows how the core values of the American political tradition have been continually challenged-and strengthened-by antiracist resistance, creating a rich legacy of African American political thought that is an invaluable component of contemporary struggles for racial justice.Zamalin looks at the language and concepts put forward by the abolitionists David Walker and Frederick Douglass, the antilynching activist Ida B. Wells, the Black Panther Party organizer Huey Newton, and the prison abolitionist Angela Davis. Each helped revise and transform ideas about power, justice, community, action, and the role of emotion in political action. Their thought encouraged abolitionists to call for the eradication of slavery, black journalists to chastise American institutions for their indifference to lynching, and black radicals to police the police and to condemn racial injustice in the American prison system. Taken together, these movements pushed political theory forward, offering new language and concepts to sustain democracy in tense times. Struggle on Their Minds is a critical text for our contemporary moment, showing how the political thought that comes out of resistance can energize the practice of democratic citizenship and ultimately help address the prevailing problem of racial injustice.African AmericansPolitics and governmentAfrican AmericansPolitical activityHistoryAfrican American intellectualsAfrican AmericansIntellectual lifelaveryUnited StatesInfluenceElectronic books.African AmericansPolitics and government.African AmericansPolitical activityHistory.African American intellectuals.African AmericansIntellectual life.laveryInfluence.323.1196073Zamalin Alex1986-1041118MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910465867803321Struggle on their minds2464435UNINA00893cam2 22002533 450 SOBE0008150320241121143222.020241121d1990 |||||ita|0103 baitaIT1Robert-Henri BautierParisÉcole de Chartes1990LXI, 457 p., [1] c. di tav.ritr.23 cm001SON00007402001 Chartes, sceaux et chancelleries : tudes de diplomatique et de sigillographie médiévales / Robert-Henri BautierBautier, Robert-HenriA600200026032070183891ITUNISOB20241121RICAUNISOBUNISOB900120380SOBE00081503M 102 Monografia moderna SBNW900004094-1SI120380rovitoUNISOBUNISOB20241121143156.020241121143222.0rovito14292291UNISOB
