Guiding reading questions for Forgeries of Memory and Meaning:
1) What is the relationship that Cedric Robinson articulates among history, memory and representations of Blackness?
2) What does he mean when he states that the figure of the "Negro" is an invention? Of what is this figure a product? Designed to produce what?
As you read the excerpt from Black Marxism, focus on these:
1) What is the Black Radical Tradition? Of what is it a tradition? In response to what historical processes is it?
2) What sort of history does Robinson offer us? Whose voices does he wish to empower and activate?
