Knowledge-making in the field of alternative economies has limited the inclusion of Black and racialized people's experience. This book aims to close that gap in development through a detailed analysis of cases in about a dozen countries where Black people live and turn to co-operatives to manage systemic exclusion. The volume's broad coverage of both historical and contemporary cases showcases the ways in which Black people in the African Diaspora have imagined and sought to model various alternatives to the developmental thought and programs that racial capitalism underwrites. The data and narratives of Black social economy presented here are extraordinary. The resurgent interests on Robinson's work makes this volume a logical read and welcome addition.
