Analysing intersections of race, class and gender alongside primary texts, this unique volume explores racism and anti-racism in the US. Considering the connections between class and racial oppression, and the often marginalised role of the Left in anti-racist struggles, Le Blanc skilfully introduces key texts from crucial figures in African American radicalism. The combination of rich analytical understanding with key primary texts makes Black Liberation and the American Dream an invaluable resource for those engaged in contemporary struggles. Crucial for activists and scholars alike.
