Book by Alex Lubin explores the historical and intellectual connections between Black American liberation struggles and Arab anticolonial movements, tracing how African Americans and Arabs, including Palestinians, developed transnational solidarities through shared experiences of racism, colonialism, and imperialism. Lubin examines figures and organizations that linked Black and Arab radical politics, recovering a history of solidarity prefiguring contemporary connections between Black Lives Matter and Palestinian solidarity movements. Recommended for researchers in transnational history and social movement studies, and for anyone studying the historical connections between Black American liberation movements and Arab anticolonial politics, valuable for tracing the roots of contemporary Black-Palestinian solidarity.
