> Description: This event will feature a presentation by Joshua Myers on his recently released biography <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.politybooks.com/bookdetail?book_slug=cedric-robinson-the-time-of-the-black-radical-tradition--9781509537914__;!!CzAuKJ42GuquVTTmVmPViYEvSg!IKuL9jpp15M9UM-caOWK9x_MAcGSdhXTAf5SU_GqvJ5r_KDbUSMK97l65CFRHWJt16nWNjdaPJ8cyA5Haw$> of Black Studies scholar Cedric Robinson. Myers will also be in conversation with one of Robinson’s former students, Dr. Françoise Cromer, and UC Irvine Global Studies PhD student, Temitope Famodu. Cedric Robinson – political theorist, historian and activist – was one of the greatest black radical thinkers of the twentieth century, whose work resonates deeply with contemporary movements such as Black Lives Matter. In this powerful work, the first major book to tell the story of Cedric Robinson, Joshua Myers shows how Robinson's work interrogated the foundations of Western political thought, modern capitalism, and the changing meanings of race. Tracing the course of Robinson's journey from his early days as an agitator in the 60s against the US's reactionary foreign policy to his publication of such seminal works within Black Studies as Black Marxism, Myers frames Robinson's mission as one that aimed to understand and practice resistance to "the terms of order." In so doing, Robinson excavated the Black radical tradition as a form of resistance that imagined that life on wholly different terms was possible.
