This is an abbreviated account of the UK webinar launch in October 2021 of the biography, Cedric Robinson: the time of the Black Radical Tradition, written by Joshua Myers. Moderated by James Pope, panellists, including Myers, Colin Prescod, John Narayan, Avery Gordon and Elizabeth Robinson present their takes on Robinson in relation to the UK and especially his relationship with the Institute of Race Relations and the journal Race & Class. They discuss key aspects of Robinson’s work, including the meaning of racial capitalism, his understanding of time, and how for him historical materialism was grounded, not in the mode of production but in the primacy of social struggle and in a dialectic of power and resistance to its abuses.

这是传记《塞德里克·罗宾逊：黑色激进传统的时代》于 2021 年 10 月在英国推出的网络研讨会的简写，作者是约书亚·迈尔斯。由詹姆斯·波普主持，包括迈尔斯、科林·普雷斯科德、约翰·纳拉扬、艾弗里·戈登和伊丽莎白·罗宾逊在内的小组成员介绍了他们对罗宾逊与英国的关系的看法，尤其是他与种族关系研究所和《种族与阶级》杂志的关系。他们讨论了罗宾逊作品的关键方面，包括种族资本主义的含义、他对时间的理解，以及对他而言，历史唯物主义是如何立足的，不是基于生产方式，而是基于社会斗争的首要地位以及权力与抵抗的辩证法对其滥用职权。
