James Richard Tracy (born 1970) is an American author, poet and activist living in Oakland, California.
He is the co-author (with Amy Sonnie) of Hillbilly Nationalists, Urban Race Rebels and Black Power: Community Organizing in Radical Times (Melville House Publishers 2012).
Tracy credits several formative events in shaping his early political outlook.
In early 1989, the presence of Neo-Nazi organizers in Vallejo helped him form an anti-racist commitment.
