This is to announce that the Past & Present Reading Group will be meeting to discuss, on a weekly basis, our next text which is Cedric J. Robinson, Black Marxism: The Making of the Black Radical Tradition [1983] (The University of North Carolina Press, 2000).
Our meetings will commence next month, with the first meeting to be held on Thursday 16 July 4:00pm-5:00pm (AEST). For that meeting group members should have read only the Foreword, Prefaces and Introduction to ease us into the text.
