 Black Anarchism
Black anarchism emerges out of the rejection of an anarchist tradition that is grounded on European thought, history, and practice, creating instead a movement that focuses specifically upon the struggle of people of colour in North America (primarily the United States).
Indeed, fl anarchism finds much of its theoretical base rooted in classical thinkers and philosophy, especially Kropotkin’s notion of mutual aid as well as the anti-authoritarianism evident in Bakunin and Proudhon, but furthers the movement by infusing it with a history of oppression meted upon fl people in the colonial context.
Continuing with the trend of working class radicalism, fl anarchism effectively fuses the workers’ struggle with an anti-racist approach to social change, and wrestles anarchism itself away from what some perceive to be dominated by white, middle-class males (1).

If we as anarchists are to build revolutionary dual power to challenge the power of the state and capital and put forth viable and coherent alternatives to the status quo, we need to organize ourselves and coordinate our efforts.
Furthermore, to those who talk of “vanguardism,” and “anarchist parties,” we say that we seek to organize ourselves in ways that reflect the society that we seek to create, and while this may not be your vision of anarchism, it certainly is ours.
