Full Description

The goal of Black Marxism and American Constitutionalism: From the Colonial Background through the Ascendancy of Barack Obama and the Dilemma of Black Lives Matter is so students, teachers, professors, and laypersons become more intellectually enhanced and historically enlightened. By examining the United States Supreme Court and its decisions on race through a theoretical lens, students are able to use this history as a compass to explore and compare other social categories such as gender and class.

Black Marxism and American Constitutionalism can be used in a wide variety of general education courses that establish learning outcomes requiring students to be able to describe American slavery, American constitutionalism, historical construction of race/class/gender, and to develop a critical perspective on the practice of a multicultural society.

Black Marxism and American Constitutionalism hopes to help Americans understand that the Myrdalian gap (rank order of discrimination) can only be shrunk or eliminated by an informed, proactive, and educated citizenry. This book seeks to be that educative variable.
