I'm working on a paper and would like to review journal articles by Black anarchists. If anyone has names of professors or other noteworthy intellectuals, I would appreciate it.
A good starting point may be: http://www.africanliberty.org
I respect the idea that your paper may relate to african-american anarchists, but why does race matter? Freedom is colorblind, so how are you less credible to cite someone of another race? I dont know if I'd want to write a paper where I had to cite only native american anarchists in order to make my point (I'm N/A). I do wish I could be helpful though, but unfortunately I cant think of any african-americans who were anarchists *at least famous ones.
You are absolutely right that freedom is colorblind. However, a certain Journal of Black studies is not. My paper has to do with the immorality of the state and I thought that the anarchic point of view might be better supported if a black academic wrote on the subject.
thanks for the replies
THANK YOU VERY MUCH

This is the site of a friend of mine. He is one of those guys that even if you disagree with him you cannot help but like him. I am sure he would be helpful in your research.

Don't know of any anarchists but, I would say that Walter Williams and Malcolm Little are both noteworthy. Walter Williams is a black culturally conservative neoclassical economist. He is really good on the issues of multiculturalism and global warming, the two strongest statist ideologies of our time. Malcolm Little (Malcolm X) was a black nationalist who was first, a member of the Nation of Islam, and after been forced out, an ally of the civil rights leaders. He was a proponent of black secession (separation, blacks should control their own politics and business in their neighbourhoods) , armed self-defense, and conservative social values (Muslim). He was strongly opposed to affirmative action (forced integration), pacifism (especially Martin Luther King's advocacy of non-violence and "turning the other cheek"), welfare (because of the culturally corrupting effects), foreign intervention, and the Federal Government.
Liberals don't mean to destroy people. They just do.
Stephen, thanks for the reminder about Malcolm X. I appreciate the responses thus far.
