"The dilemma for social movements on the Left is this: ‘how can we instrumentalize Black energy & Black bodies for our agendas, without our having to be authorized by a Black radical agenda?’"

— Frank Wilderson, “Radical Cities/Radical Lives” panel at the Oakland Book Fair, June 15, 2015

"Ifá is the preservation of the ancestral wisdom in Yorùbá culture which gives guidance on how to make the right decisions on the journey towards developing good character. Ifá is not a doctrine of belief; it is a way of looking at the world."

- Awo Fa'lokun Fatunmbi, 2013

The second Great Awakening did a lot of work for abolitionism and women's suffrage, which could relate to your topic. Malcolm X and MLK were not women not caribbean tmk but they were black and religious and VERY progressive (duh). Found some interesting sources on Malcolm:

@CaribenxMarciaX @Clumsey_Wordsmith when it comes to Marx and religion, I think later Marxists are better than Marx. A lot of Liberation Theologians do a switcheroo of 'I'm not a Marxist but here's my Marxist analysis' to not be assasinated, so there's a bit of uncovering involved in that. For your research, I'm not sure how helpful it'd be because the authors while dunking on their Eurocentric views and needing to have a politics of Latin America are still mediating that line.

@CaribenxMarciaX No. I mean, we had socialism before Marx & Engels, didn't we? What about Henry George and Charles Fourier, or Pierre Joseph Proudhon, or Pyotr Kropotkin?

@CaribenxMarciaX my personal view: not everything ofc but it helps to include some materialist analysis where relevant because it is so interrelated with so many things. What do you think?
