Black Anarchism Across the Generations

In October 2021, Pluto published the definitive edition of Anarchism and the Black Revolution by Lorenzo Kom'boa Ervin. The book first connected Black radical thought to anarchist theory in 1979, and now amidst a rising tide of Black political organizing, this foundational classic has been republished with a wealth of original material, including forewords by William C. Anderson and Joy James. This episode of Black Autonomy Podcast is brought to you in collaboration with the Pluto Press podcast 'Radicals in Conversation,' in which JoNina Ervin hosts a discussion between Lorenzo Kom'boa Ervin and William C. Anderson about Black anarchism across the generations. Ervin and Anderson discuss the reasons for the continued relevance and increasing popularity of Black anarchism today, what an 'ungovernable' radical movement might look like, and the contradictions inherent to single-issue and state-orientated political projects from the left. They also discuss Black nationalism, and put Anderson's book The Nation on No Map in conversation with Anarchism and the Black Revolution . --- 'Anarchism and the Black Revolution' by Lorenzo Kom'boa Ervin: 9780745345819/anarchism-and- the-black-revolution/ 'The Nation on No Map' by William C.
