Whats up, fam! I’m trying to squeezed in time to post, particularly some longer think pieces on the Black left. In the meantime, I wanted to reprint this interview with the historian Robin DG Kelly in the latest issue of In the Middle of the Whirlwind, an online journal put out by Team Colors.

 Kelly is one of the sickest radical historians out there, author of Freedom Dreams, Race Rebels and my perennial favorite, Hammer and Hoe: Black Communists in Alabama.

What makes this interview special is that my man has been out of public view for a number of years. Ever since he went way out west, he’s been hard to find, though, word is, Kelley is working on a major biography of Thelonoius Monk, holla! Hey Robin, I want dribs on the book party at the Brecht when you get to NYC In the meantime check out this interview by Ben Holtzmann in In the Middle of the Whirlwind, an online journal put out by Team Colors.
