Radical Insurgencies

by Molefi Kete Asante | Universal Write (2020)


Reviews

“Asante's Radical Insurgencies is a much needed testament to the power of Afrocentric analysis where African people abandon the margins for the center.”
—Dr. Rahel Kassahun, President, African Unbound Museum, Addis Ababa

“Once again, the prolific scholar, Molefi Kete Asante, has demonstrated his virtuosity as a thinker, taking on racism, Black Marxism, classism, Afrofuturism, demagoguery, art, alliances, and communication. Radical Insurgencies is a monument to Asante's continuing effort to explore new frontiers in Afrocentric ideas.”
—Dr. M. Ifetayo Flannery

“In Radical Insurgencies, Molefi Kete Asante has stitched together various social and political concerns with the skill of a quilt maker drawing inspiration from Africology, history, sociology, and philosophy.”
—Dr. Nah Dove, Africology, Temple University
