Ma le condizioni per realizzare una società priva dei mali della dominazione vanno di certo ben al di là della semplice ricetta rivoluzionaria della teoria politica di Marx. Sylvia Wynter. Introduzione Quando nel 1983 Cedric Robinson pubblicò il suo seminale Black Marxism: The Making of the Black Radical Tradition, la "rivoluzione neo-liberale" 1 globale era in piena accelerazione. Era un momento di riflusso delle lotte di liberazione degli afroamericani, dopo l'intensa attività di contrasto da parte dello stato americano; implodeva la rivoluzione di Grenada nei Caraibi; si andava affermando l'idea che i movimenti di liberazione africani fossero arrivati a uno stallo e il momento di Bandung, che aveva suggerito diverse possibilità per i paesi ex-coloniali, si era esaurito.

Overthrowing the system of planation slavery and colonial domination in the late 18th century, the revolution led by formerly enslaved Africans and Afro-Caribbeans operated at least two levels within the domain of political ideas and action. In the first elements of the revolutionary leadership were deeply influenced by the Jacobin current of the French Revolution. In the second instance subaltern figures and groups within the Revolution attempted to create both ideas and practices of radical equality. This essay will attempt to explore these two currents within the Revolution and argue that the practices of these two currents not only collided but opened up an alternative terrain of radical thinking and political thought.

What can one fi nd in an inquiry into the frames of the nation other than premodern throwbacks, traditional cultures, and irrationalities? To be modern, these arguments run, is to fi x our gaze on political futures that look forward, not backward. However, there is a problem with these arguments. At the base of such positions is an understanding of modernity as a singular universal process that determines all political and social meanings. Modernity drags both the colony and postcolony kicking and screaming into the present age and into a singular uniform process. Consequently, all other histories are merely secondary or derivative, as modernity reorganizes geograp...
