The Black Antifascist Tradition with Jeanelle K. Hope and Bill Mullen
<p>Scholar-activists Jeanelle K. Hope and Bill Mullen join us to discuss their very new book The Black Antifascist Tradition: Fighting Back From Anti-Lynching to Abolition, which shows that Black intellectuals and activities have always been vanguards in antifascist thought and organizing. In the conversation, they offer a rich overview of the work, which offers readers an introduction into history, Black political thought, and a roadmap for contemporary organizing.
