The essay 'The Anarchism of Blackness' appeared in issue #5 of ROAR Magazine in April 2017 where it made a splash and was reposted and shared widely, on both sides of the Atlantic. The authors have now expanded that essay into a book, with the passion of Ta-Nehisi Coates' Between the World and Me, the raw truth of Michelle Alexander's The New Jim Crow, and the revolutionary fervour of Emma Goldman's timeless essays.
