Black and Indigenous Resistance in the Americas

Juliet Hooker is professor of political science at Brown University.

Drawing on activist research focused on black and indigenous movements in Brazil, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Guatemala, Mexico, and the U.S., the authors of Black and Indigenous Resistance in the Americas argue that progressive anti-racist activism must center on a critique of racial capitalism in order to confront white supremacy.
