Walter Johnson, Harvard historian and author of the acclaimed River of Dark Dreams, urges us to embrace a vision of justice attentive to the history of slavery-not through the lens of human rights, but instead through an honest accounting of how slavery was the foundation of capitalism, a legacy that continues to afflict people of color and the poor. Inspired by Cedric J. Robinson's work on racial capitalism, as well as Black Lives Matter and its forebears-including the black radical tradition, the Black Panthers, South African anti-apartheid struggles, and organized labor-contributors to this volume offer a critical handbook to racial justice in the age of Trump.

Donna Murch, Associate Professor of History at Rutgers University, is the author of Living for the City: Migration, Education, and the Rise of the Black Panther Party in Oakland and the forthcoming Assata Taught Me: State Violence, Mass Incarceration, and the Movement for Black Lives.
