Episode 13 | Liberator Magazine and Black Activism in the1960s – a Conversation with Christopher Tinson

Left of Black host Mark Anthony Neal is joined in the studio by professor and historian, Christopher Tinson, author of

Radical Intellect: Liberator Magazine and Black Activism in the 1960s (University of North Carolina Press, 2017), which Jennifer Guglielmo describes as, “An illuminating, nuanced, and beautifully written history that explores community-based print culture as a critical nexus for black radicalism in the 1960s and 1970s. This brilliant book brings into focus a world of political and cultural work that was local and transnational, Pan-African, black nationalist, feminist, and rooted in a tradition of labor radicalism. A core text for those studying histories of freedom struggle.” Tinson is Associate Professor of History and the Director of African American Studies at Saint Louis University.
