Gaye Theresa Johnson is Associate Professor of African American Studies and Chicana and Chicano Studies at the University of California at Los Angeles. She writes and teaches on race, cultural politics, and freedom struggles. Her first book, published with University of California Press in 2013, is Spaces of Conflict, Sounds of Solidarity: Music, Race, and Spatial Entitlement, and is a history of social and spatial struggles in Los Angeles’ Black and Brown communities.

It is a collection of writings about the Black Radical Tradition, both in tribute to and animated by the work of Cedric Robinson. Johnson is currently at work on two book projects.

She is also writing a single-author manuscript, These Walls Will Fall: Redefining Freedom in the 21st Century, which connects studies and practices of transnational migration and economies, prisoners’ rights, environmental justice, and art.
