Description
In Black Empire, Michelle Ann Stephens examines the ideal of ?transnational blackness? James, Stephens shows how these thinkers developed ideas of a worldwide racial movement and federated global black political community that transcended the boundaries of nation-states. Stephens argues that the global black political consciousness she identifies was constituted by both radical and reactionary impulses. Drawing together insights from American, African American, Caribbean, and gender studies, Black Empire is a major contribution to ongoing conversations about nation and diaspora.
