Radical Futurisms: Ecologies of Collapse, Chronopolitics, and Justice-to-Come

"T. J. Demos’s inspiring vision for decolonial antiracist ecosocialism resoundingly defeats today’s fatalistic nihilism. When comradeship exceeds particularity, we can forge the transformative solidarity necessary for an emancipatory egalitarian future."—Jodi Dean, author of Comrade: An Essay on Political Belonging"Demos’s attention to distinct speculative and improvisational artistic practices, movements, and modes of social organization—made common in their commitment to “planetary solidarities” across antiracist and anti-capitalist struggles—manages to retain a pessimistic hope for political transformation beyond the foreclosures of the racial Capitalocene."—Rizvana Bradley, University of California, Berkeley"Going beyond and against liberal identity politics and merely metaphorical forms of decolonization, and opening a conceptual and affective space for solidarity in uncommonality, Radical Futurisms combines the clarity and urgency of a manifesto with the incisiveness and insightfulness of scholarship."—Sven Lütticken, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and Leiden University"With careful attention to the forms, details, and intellectual frameworks of activist cultural production at multiple geographical scales, Demos shows that a “future that holds many futures” is an already-emergent reality: people are confronting the catastrophic endgames of climate barbarism not only with acts of dissent and protest, but with regenerative infrastructures of assembly, relation, cooperation, and care that embody in their practice a multiplicity of revolutionary temporalities."—Yates McKee, author of Strike Art: Contemporary Art and the Post-Occupy Condition
