The Praxis of Black Leadership in the Twenty-First Century
The frequently decried absence of Black leaders in the U.S. is a misnomer. What we have is a dearth of visionary Black leaders. We must understand our place in the world, a place marked by race. African leaders have a responsibility to define that marker. This article claims as members of the race, all the world's populations of African-descended people. The leaders of these populations must be distinguished from other African-descended leaders w…
Reflections on Racial Identity and the Black Movement in the United States and Brazil
These reflections are based on a long history of study and involvement in the Black movement in the United States, on friendships with militants in the Brazilian Black movement, and on study of that movement. They arise directly from musings occasioned by comments made by an undergraduate white student in my course, Politics of the African Diaspora, and by my observation of a couple on the Avenida Sete de Setembro in Salvador, Bahia

toral politics, political appointments, judicial politics, lobbying, attempts to influence the popular media, and the like. Black politics should not be limited to any electoral cycle, presidential politics, congressional politics, state house or city-hall politics. All those arenas are important for black people, but if they are the only arenas we are active in, we are doomed. Black politics should not be inextricably linked to any political par…

We get a bad rap about our criminality and about our politics. This essay addresses the bad rap about our politics, particularly as it relates to the 2000 presidential election. The bad rap about black politics in the U.S. is multi-dimensional. We don't vote. We
