Choosing cornerstones of culture, such as the music of Sun Ra, the movie \u003cem\u003eBlack Panther\u003c\/em\u003e and the writer Octavia Butler, he looks at the trajectory of Black liberation thought since slavery, including new research on the rise in the comparative study of Black people all over the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTurning to look at how digital tools enhance the study of the discipline, this book is a powerful read that will inform and inspire students and activists.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pluto Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54224981328216,"sku":"9780745347004","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780745347004_4eba8297-d41f-486b-b4ee-4fad028754e5.jpg?v=1779854432","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/future-of-black-studies","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
