Dr. Gerald Horne Book Launch of Acknowledging Radical Histories with special presentation of Revolting Capital

About Acknowledging Radical Histories:

In this collection of interviews spanning several years, Dr. Horne  confronts the history of settler colonialism and the fight against  fascism while providing dazzling insights on Jazz, Paul Robeson, W.E.B.  Du Bois, and Shirley Graham Du Bois. Part history, part radical memoir, Acknowledging Radical Histories displays the power of conversation, solidarity, and coming together for a better future.

About Revolting Capital:

In this sweeping history of Washington, D.C., distinguished author Gerald  Horne traces the pestilence that is racism—and radical resistance  against it—over a century. This is a book that should be understood and  studied by all anti-imperialist and progressive forces.

Gerald Horne is a prolific  Marxist historian and author considered “one of the great historians of  our time” (Cornel West). Raised in St. Louis, Missouri, Horne received  his undergraduate education at Princeton, received his Ph.D. from  Columbia University, and a J.D. from the University of California,  Berkeley. He is currently the John J. and Rebecca Moores Chair of  History and African American Studies at the University of Houston.

Dr. Horne has written nearly 40 books dealing with the confluence of  African American History, Communist History, the struggle for  liberation, internationalism, imperialism, colonialism, racism, white  supremacy, and fascism. Biographies written by Horne include the lives  of W.E.B. Du Bois, Benjamin Davis, Jr., William L. Patterson, John  Howard Lawson, and Ferdinand Smith, among others. Horne has also  produced a number of volumes that examine U.S. history through a lens of  settler colonialism, racial capitalism, white supremacy, and  imperialism, and their genocidal impacts on Africans and Indigenous  Americans.
