An analysis of the ideology of race, and racism, and how it evolved along with the development of capitalism.

Moving Onward: From Racial Division To Class Unity

People's Tribune

Following the publication of his seminal Black Fire: The Making Of An American Revolutionary, in 1994, Peery, with almost 60 years in the 'movement' behind him, crossed the country meeting with individuals and groups, talking and listening. In these journeys he discussed questions about capitalism, communism, and fascism; about poverty in the midst of plenty; about what makes our era different from all others. This lively new work distills these experiences and challenges readers to ask new questions and imagine a cooperative America no longer limited by scarcity.

The Black radical recounts his life among hoboes during the Depression, his duty in World War II, his insurrectionary acts, and the formation of his goal of a communist-style revolution of non-white peoples

New Press, The

Black Fire, the celebrated first volume of Nelson Peery’s riveting autobiography, told the story of his childhood and teenage years during the Depression and his subsequent political awakening as a soldier in the all-black 93rd Infantry Division in World War II.
In this electrifying sequel, Peery picks up where Black Fire ends, beginning with his integration back into civilian life following the war, and describing the development of his revolutionary consciousness as he attempts to move from first-class soldier to first-class civilian. Black Radical offers a rare perspective and a new and fascinating vantage on the crucial historical period from 1946 through 1968, including the postwar grassroots struggle for equality and democracy led by black veterans, the battles of the black left and revolutionaries during the McCarthy inquisition and their role in the freedom movement, and the 1965 Watts rebellion in Los Angeles, where Peery and his family were living at the time. Above all, Black Radical is about the education of an American revolutionary amid the continuing struggles to bring to life the ideals that Peery and so many others fought for in World War II.
