In the 1960s and 1970s the U.S. black liberation movement developed positions that established horizons of social transformation inspired by the anticolonial struggles happening in the Third World and carried on a critical, but fruitful, dialogue with Marxism. Thus, political positions emerged that linked the analysis of class and race in different ways and were expressed in multiple organizational strategies. This article relates the historic development of these political tendencies, offering a general panorama of these movements and the theoretical contributions stemming from their analyses as they questioned imperialism, racism, and capitalism in different ways. The recent emergence of Black Lives Matter shows the enormous legacy that this period left to those who followed, as well as the need to develop a genealogy of the ideas and practices of the black radical tradition.
