RED AFRICA, reclaiming revolutionary Black politics

160pp., paperback, London, 2023

Political theorist Kevin Ochieng Okoth argues for reclaiming a revolutionary Black politics inspired by Marxist anti-colonial struggles in Africa.

"This is an important defence of the emancipatory politics of Eduardo Mondlane, Amilcar Cabral, Frantz Fanon, and Walter Rodney from the reactionary perspectives of Afro-pessimism and African nationalism, raising the question of whether things might indeed have turned out differently had radical women such as Andrée Blouin been more intimately connected with the struggle for self-determination."
