American Black intellectuals have recognized racism as a worldwide force for generations. Manning Marable delivers the first comprehensive examination of how prominent Black scholars and activists have understood race and racism as transnational phenomena. The book surveys the historical development of this perspective while providing critical analysis of key theoretical frameworks. Marable explores how these thinkers have mapped connections between racial oppression across different nations and contexts. The work traces major scholarly contributions and activist insights that reveal the global dimensions of modern racism. Readers gain access to a complete picture of how Black intellectual tradition has conceptualized race as a force that transcends national boundaries.
