Return of Black Nationalism and the Death of White Supremacy The

The Return of Black Nationalism and the Death of White Supremacy stands out because it does not advocate a reactionary form of Black nationalism, nor does it call for racial separatism. It is akin to my own views of radical anti-racism and Black Autonomy, which I spelled out in my own book: Anarchism and the Black Revolution (Pluto Press UK, 2021). The truth is that without the utter destruction of the system of white supremacy, there can be no real racial justice or progressive social reforms. This is why we are in this space now: we need thorough-going, deep, lasting radical social change. Instead, we just continue to drift with political promises, but with no dismantling of white supremacy or the political structure that supports it. Thus, this government and its society have just passed post-Civil Rights reforms and other legislative half-measures that accomplish nothing but take us back to where we just left. In terms of dismantling white supremacy, we need a new society where racism, fascism, and white supremacy have no place. That is what this book calls for. This book would be extremely helpful for students in political science classes, journalism, and Africana studies, among other college-level programs. In addition, it would be important general reading for Black youth, anti-racist activists, and intellectuals of every political orientation. Finally, I think it could serve as a source of inspiration and even generate new forms of Black community organizing.-Lorenzo Komboa Ervin
