Book Films Media Announces the Release of the New Book “Will of Fire” by Cynthia Hamilton

By: Get News
Book Films Media announces the release of the new book "Will of Fire: Black Radicals and the Radical Tradition" by Cynthia Hamilton.

Acclaimed author Cynthia Hamilton brings to life the forgotten voices of Black radicals and their profound contributions to the struggle for justice in her latest book, "Will of Fire: Black Radicals and the Radical Tradition." This groundbreaking work delves into the often-unpopular subjects tackled by a courageous group of young writers who paved the way for modern activism.

Inspired by the events in Ferguson and the Black Lives Matter movement, Cynthia Hamilton embarks on a journey through history to uncover the roots of today's social justice movements. In "Will of Fire," she highlights the fearless pioneers who spoke out on issues such as homosexuality, interracial relations, prostitution, promiscuity, and color prejudice when doing so was fraught with risk. These compelling narratives are a testament to their unyielding determination and belief in the power of their words to enact change.

The title "Will of Fire" itself is a tribute to the spirit of the times. It harks back to "Fire!!," the groundbreaking literary magazine established by a small group of young writers. The founding editors, including iconic figures such as Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, Wallace Thurman, Aaron Douglas, John Davis, Richard Bruce Nugent, Gwendolyn Bennet, Lewis Grandson Alexander, and Countee Cullen, used "Fire!!" as a platform to address the critical issues of their era. Cynthia Hamilton's book not only revisits their stories but also examines their lasting impact on contemporary movements for social justice.

With a thought-provoking narrative, "Will of Fire: Black Radicals and the Radical Tradition" offers readers a fresh perspective on the historical backdrop of social change and the enduring relevance of these early activists. This book is a must-read for those seeking to understand the roots of today's struggles for equality and justice.

"Will of Fire: Black Radicals and the Radical Tradition" is available now and can be purchased at major bookstores and online retailers.
