Robert Allen Celebrated: A 40th Anniversary Tribute to Black Awakening in Capitalist America

Posted by on April 10, 2009

The 40th anniversary of Robert Allen’s seminal Black Awakening in Capitalist America took place this week.  Scholars, activists and journalists from around the world all gathered to pay tribute to the inspirational book by specifically discussing Allen’s application of a model of domestic neocolonialism to African America.  Hear each presentation and the continuing impact of Allen’s work and its relevance in the 21st century.  Issues of colonialism, Black America, Latin America and the African world including varying perspectives, definitions and applications of this model were discussed as was the placement of president Obama within this framework.  A special thanks to the organizers, including Ramon Grosfoguel, for the event.
