There are very few books out there on Black anarchism. Our As Black as Resistance is probably the only other one published in the last twenty years. And in the twenty years before that only Lorenzo Kom'Boa Ervin’s Anarchism and the Black Revolution comes to mind. At the same time, there is more interest in and references to the affinities between anarchism and Black liberation among black writers and thinkers (Emergent Strategy and Pleasure Activism, for instance) The book will also appeal to readers and academics interested in feminist, queer, and gender studies, as Bey maintains that there can be no theory of Blackness without taking those things into account. This one will be a short and modestly priced primer on the subject, which will hopefully inspire more people to pick it up. We anticipate significant academic interest.
