Edited by Anna Gifty Opoku-Agyeman, The Black Agenda gathers essays featuring Black scholars and experts across the fields of economics, education, health, climate studies and technology to offer solutions that might advance the causes of anti-racism and social justice.
What The Reviewers Say
The short essays are packed with statistics, acronyms, and some policy jargon; while they can at times make for dry reading, they offer fresh ideas and perspectives on many of the most pressing problems of this era. Standout essays include Brandeis Marshall on algorithmic assault, Cliff Albright on voting rights, Fenaba R. Addo on student loans and the Black wealth gap, and Kyle K. Moore on stratification economics. A powerful foreword by Tressie McMillan Cottom offers a starting point for critical self-reflection.
An expansive set of essays.
... [an] invigorating essay collection.
