Dr. Ashley D. Farmer is a historian of Black freedom movements and one of the sharpest voices writing about Black nationalism and reparations today. Her new book, Queen Mother: Black Nationalism, Reparations, and the Untold Story of Audley Moore, follows the life and work of Audley Moore and shows how reparations has been a core demand in Black politics for decades.
Queen Mother is essential reading if you care about Black history, Black political thought, reparations, and the long organizing tradition behind today’s repair debates. Farmer’s work makes clear that reparations is not a new idea. It is part of a much longer Black freedom project.
You can buy Queen Mother from Kindred Stories or from your favorite independent bookstore.
