Welcome back to Lit in a Nutshell—the podcast where big ideas meet clear thinking.Today, we’re diving into The Politics of Liberation by Charles V. Hamilton, a foundational text that challenges how we understand power, race, and political freedom in America.Written during the height of the Civil Rights and Black Power movements, Hamilton’s work pushes beyond integration as a goal and asks a sharper question: Who really holds power, and how can oppressed communities claim it for themselves? With clarity and urgency, Hamilton examines institutions, political strategy, and the realities of Black political life in a system not designed for equality.In this episode, we’ll break down Hamilton’s key arguments, explore why liberation is as much political as it is social, and connect his ideas to struggles that still shape our world today.So grab your highlighter, open your mind, and let’s get into it—because this is The Politics of Liberation, in a nutshell.
