A manifesto from one of Americas most influential activists which disrupts political, economic, and social norms by reimagining the Black Radical Tradition.Drawing on Black intellectual and grassroots organizing traditions, including the Haitian Revolution, the US civil rights movement, and LGBTQ rights and feminist movements, Unapologetic challenges all of us engaged in the social justice struggle to make the movement for Black liberation more radical, more queer, and more feminist. This book provides a vision for how social justice movements can become sharper and more effective through principled struggle, healing justice, and leadership development. It also offers a flexible model of what deeply effective organizing can be, anchored in the Chicago model of activism, which features long-term commitment, cultural sensitivity, creative strategizing, and multiple cross-group alliances. And Unapologetic provides a clear framework for activists committed to building transformative power, encouraging young people to see themselves as visionaries and leaders.;Unapologetic is a 21st century guide to building a Black liberation movement through a Black queer feminist lens--;All of us or none of us -- Reviving the Black radical imagination -- A case for reimagining the Black radical imagination -- Three commitments -- Five questions -- The Chicago model -- The mandate.

PRAISE FOR UNAPOLOGETIC

Unapologetic is a beautiful, insightful, and powerful analysis of this moment, Black movements, and Black radical futures. Both Charlene Carrutherss work as an organizer and organic intellectual and her writing in Unapologetic embody the Black radical tradition and the best of Black feminism today. Carruthers confronts the difficulties of organizing in this era, while also detailing the possibilities of collective struggle. She helps us understand the contours of a Black queer feminist future and what we all must do to get there. This is a must-read for anyone committed to freedom and liberation.

Cathy J. Cohen, Democracy Remixed: Black Youth and the Future of American Politics

Unapologetic is as much a narrative about collective youth-driven organizing by those affiliated with the current Movement for Black Lives as it is a story about how one young Black woman from the South Side of Chicago found herself leading one of the most consequential formations of the past decade. The book offers practical tips for organizers along with a critical analysis of the promise and pitfalls of this current iteration of the Black radical tradition. As an organizer, I found myself nodding along as I read this terrific book while taking notes to improve my own practice.

Mariame Kaba, founder of Project NIA and cofounder of Survived & Punished

Charlene Carruthers carries the burden, the beauty, the wisdom of four hundred years of Black struggle. But she also brings a critical perspective and a creative vision, rooted in her extensive experience as an organizer and organic intellectual, and in her fierce and fearless commitment to truth. This is an inspiring, powerful, but difficult book because she confronts our movements, our people, our closeted silences, toxic masculinity, patriarchal violence, romantic and selective historical memory, and our future head-on, through a radical Black queer feminist lens. Welcome to the Black radical tradition.

Robin D. G. Kelley, author of Freedom Dreams: The Black Radical Imagination

Unapologetic serves as our marching orders. Charlene gives us not just a manual but a prayer, an intention, a critical path forward, and a deep analysis on where weve been. She educates us about community violence and state violence, and provides the clarity to show why Black liberation is crucial for us all.

Patrisse Khan-Cullors, coauthor of When They Call You a Terrorist: A Black Lives Matter Memoir

Leadership is the ability to not only make your own way but to return to give others a road map that they, too, can follow. This is what Charlene Carruthers does with Unapologetic. She offers us a guide to getting free with incisive prose, years of grassroots organizing experience, and a deeply intersectional lens. She doesnt forget any of us and reminds us that bringing all of ourselves and our people with us is the only way any of us will get free.

Janet Mock, author of Redefining Realness and Surpassing Certainty

Charlene Carruthers is a powerful organizer, radical thinker, paradigm shifter, and one of the most influential political voices of her generation. Anyone seriously interested in the struggle for Black liberation in this country needs to listen carefully to what she has to say.

Barbara Ransby, author of Ella Baker and the Black Freedom Movement and Making All Black Lives Matter

With this clear call to action, Charlene Carrutherss Unapologetic is a desperately needed analysis of the past, the present, and where we must head into the future. Its a must-read for everyone who wants deeper, honest insight into the struggles happening in our country right now, clarifying why stopping anti-Black racism, homophobia, and sexism and building transformative power intersectionally are urgent necessities for our families, our communities, and the nation.

Kristin Rowe-Finkbeiner, author, executive director, and cofounder of MomsRising.org

Charlene Carruthers speaks with the authenticity and authority of an organizer from the front lines of struggle. Cut from the cloth of the South Side of Chicago, Carruthers offers a critical perspective into the experience of organizing and building a movement from the inside. As an organizer, Charlene provides rare insight into the strategies, tactics, and raging debates that animate the phenomenon of Black Lives Matter. If you want to understand this movement and the people whose hands are dirty from working with the grassroots, then you need this book.

Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, author of From #BlackLivesMatter to Black Liberation

This brilliant and powerful book is a clarion call to keep alive the Black radical tradition in these reactionary times. Charlene A. Carruthers is an exemplary organic intellectual rooted in the struggles of black poor and working people, especially LGBTQ youth, with a subtle analysis and an international vision for freedom. She stands in the great lineage of Harriet Tubman, Ida B. Wells-Barnett, and Marsha P. Johnsongrand fighters and great lovers of everyday black people and oppressed folk everywhere!

For my mother; my father; my brother and sister and niece; Harriet Tubman, whose gun is at my back; my grandparents who migrated north; the members of BYP100; Mary Hooks and the mandate; my ancestors, elders, and comrades. This book is possible because of you. Thank you for being my North Star.

AUTHORS NOTE

Unapologetic is a book for all people who are curious about and committed to the struggle for Black liberation. There are at least two ways that you can read this book. The first is to read it to build, sharpen, or deepen your analysis or understanding of core concepts and practices to use in building social justice movements for collective liberation. While there are many types of analysis one can use, this book is based in Black radical, feminist, queer, and anti-capitalist theories and practices. The ideas I share are the result of rigorous reading, film watching, conversations with comrades, family members, and neighbors, and movement-building experiences on the ground. I encourage all readers to use this book to engage in principled struggle through direct communication and honest dialogue.

You can also read this book for a historical account of the Black radical tradition that centers the stories and movements led by people who are not typically lauded. There are stories throughout this book that should be explored more deeply and subjects warranting books of their own. My intention is to share stories you may not have heard before and offer perspectives on strategies Black folks have used for centuries.

Unapologetic includes a number of complex ideas and terms that I attempt to make clear through stories and practical examples. I do not expect all readers to understand all of the concepts equally. Dont be afraid to use a dictionary. I use one when I read too. Below, defined concisely, are some key terms I use in this book.

Anti-Blackness: a system of beliefs and practices that destroy, erode, and dictate the humanity of Black people.

Abolition: as defined by Critical Resistance, a long-term political vision with the goal of eliminating imprisonment, policing, and surveillance and creating lasting alternatives to punishment and imprisonment.
