AfricaNow! January 8, 2025 Reflections on Autonomy, Direct Democracy & Marronage with Modibo Kadalie Pt. I

Topic and Guest: In his publication Intimate Direct Democracy: Fort Mose, The Great Dismal Swamp and The Human Quest for Freedom Modibo Kadalie aptly points out, younger people “are convinced that the nation-state is not offering them a future. Newer generations of researchers are now beginning to look for evidence of community and collectivity.”  A collectivity that lies in the very fabric of Africana forms of knowing and ways of being, fully articulated in the various forms of resistance found throughout the Americas expressed as maroon communities.  In defining, mapping, and attempting to find the most articulate application of ‘democracy’ Modibo Kadalie presents an important intervention into the questions that move in and throughout discourses on democracy.  

Kadalie engages interdependent themes such as Black autonomy, radical public and social history, intimate direct democracy, social intimacy, Black geographies, and radical ecology, while centering a Pan Africanism that strengthens conceptual lens through which continuities in Africana sociopolitical thought and resistance can be further identified. Kadalie’s perspective on Black autonomy, grounded in social intimacy as being the operative mechanism for a functional democratic society, is undoubtedly rooted in his own background. Kadalie grew up in Riceboro, a Gullah-Geechee community on the Georgia coast, where he often points to African ways of being and forms of knowledge that were transmitted from generation to generation and deeply ingrained in his worldview throughout his early development.   

Today, we will listen to part one of a four-part series where we explore direct democracy, autonomy, marronage, Black anarchism, and atheism with Modibo Kadalie.  Dr. Modibo Kadalie is a social ecologist, academic and lifelong radical activist within the Civil Rights, Black Power and Pan-Africanist movements and the Founding Convener of the Autonomous Research Institute for Direct Democracy and Social Ecology (ARIDDSE). He is the author of Pan-African Social Ecology: Speeches, Conversations and Essays (2019); Internationalism, Pan-Africanism and the Struggle of Social Classes; Intimate Direct Democracy: Fort Mose, the Great Dismal Swamp, and the Human Quest for Freedom (2022) and a number of other articles.

AfricaNow! goes into its archives with a program in which we explored Dr. King's internationalism—its historical and contemporary impact. That program featured Dr. Clayborne Carson, who was then the Martin Luther King, Jr., Centennial Professor of History and Ronnie Lott Founding Director of the Martin Luther King, Jr., Research and Education Institute at Stanford University. Currently Dr. Clayborne Carson is Martin Luther King, Jr., Centennial Professor Emeritus of History at Stanford University. Dr. Carson has devoted his professional life to the study of Martin Luther King, Jr., and the human rights movements inspired by King. His numerous publications include his award-winning book, In Struggle: SNCC and the Black Awakening of the 1960s. Full bio is available at fsi.stanford.edu/people/clayborne-carson.
