- More about The Future of Black Studies
In the Western world, Black Studies is a powerful discipline that has grown out of struggle and community action, but it has been marginalized. Abdul Alkalimat, one of the founders of Black Studies in the US, presents a reimagining of the future trends in the study of the Black experience, using Marxism, Black Experientialism, Afro-Futurist, and Diaspora frameworks. He looks at the trajectory of Black liberation thought since slavery, including new research on the rise in the comparative study of Black people all over the world, and how digital tools enhance the study of the discipline.

The marginalization of Black voices from the academy is a pressing issue in the Western world. However, Black Studies, where it exists, emerges as a powerful and transformative discipline, rooted in the struggles and collective actions of the Black community. In this insightful essay, Abdul Alkalimat, one of the pioneers of Black Studies in the United States, offers a visionary reimagining of the future trends in the study of the Black experience. Drawing upon Marxism, Black Experientialism, Afro-Futurist, and Diaspora frameworks, Alkalimat projects a radical future for the discipline at a time of social crisis. He explores the trajectory of Black liberation thought since slavery, highlighting new research on the global rise of comparative studies of Black people. Additionally, he examines how digital tools enhance the study of Black Studies, making this book an invaluable resource for students and activists alike.
