As part of Black History Month, we invite you to a conversation with Dr Joshua Myers about his latest book, Of Black Study (Pluto Press, 2023). Through an in-depth study of the work and lives of Black intellectuals (June Jordan, W. E. B. Du Bois, Sylvia Wynter, Jacob H. Carruthers Jr., Cedric J. Robinson and Toni Cade Bambara), Dr Myers invites us to seriously question the ‘lies’ of the West and its Academy, or to use Du Bois's phrase, the 'half-truths' of Science. Calling for a return to the radical ideas (or dreams) that led to the emergence of Black Studies in the neoliberal university, Of Black Study invites us to (re)read Black history in the light of a commitment to being undisciplined.
