Towards a Black radical independent education: Black radicalism, independence and the supplementary school movement

Black Radicalism believes in the centrality of racism to Western imperialism and a Diasporic commitment to the liberation of Africa; existing in distinction to Black Nationalism, Marxism and Critical Race Theory. A Black radical critique of schooling is presented and the mischaracterisations of Black radicalism as segregationist and separatist are examined. Black independent education is a necessary feature of Black radicalism and the Black supplementary schools movement in Britain exists as a potential space where such an education can be developed.
