Description
Revolutionary Theology shines new light on the influential thought of James Hal Cone, the pioneering Black liberation theologist.
Author Arnold L. Farr explores Cone's life, writings, and his powerful vision of Black liberation theology, confirming their relevance for the fight against white supremacy today. Centred on the concepts of 'black consciousness' and 'black power' in theology and beyond, the book maps Cone's project as an attempt to overturn white supremacy in theology, the church, and in American society altogether.
Farr charts the origins and changes in Black liberation theology. He goes on to broaden Cone's insights and apply them towards developing a critical political theology for non-religious people—arguing that the liberation movement within religion, as demonstrated through the Black Radical Tradition, has much to contribute to the pursuit of social justice.

Anarchism and the Black Revolution
Anarchism and the Black Revolution is described as a powerful – even startling – book that challenges the shibboleths of 'white' anarchism. Its analysis of police violence and the threat of fascism are as important now as they were at the end of the 1970s. Perhaps more so. This foundational classic, written by a key figure of the Civil Rights...PaperbackSold Out
