Stuart Hall: Through the Prism of an Intellectual Life

In this recently discovered, newly restored video of one of Stuart Hall's most famous lectures, Hall speaks with dazzling precision about the responsibilities of intellectuals and educators in the face of undemocratic structures of power, injustice, racism, and inequality, and lays out in the clearest possible terms a theoretical framework for dissecting and resisting authoritarian thinking without lapsing into reductive ideological simplifications.

Includes an afterword with Brian Meeks, Chair of Africana Studies at Brown University.
