This sequel to "Race, Politics and Economic Development" assembles case studies of cities, such as Atlanta, Los Angeles and Chicago, with practical discussions of programmes designed to establish a more effective black politics. Once at the forefront of progressive social change in the United States, black activism has been eclipsed in the past quarter-century by dramatic changes in the landscape of black politics and society. The rise to prominence of a highly visible stratum of black neo-conservative leaders has accompanied a growing sense of hopelessness and political impotence. The book draws comparisons between racial politics on both sides of the Atlantic, and includes two comparative studies of racial politics in Britain. Contributors include: Clarence Lusanne, Louis Kushnik, Anthony Affigne, Douglas Gills, John Bentancur, William Sales, Rod Bush, Lewis Randolph, Faria Chideya, Cynthia Hamilton, David Reynolds and James Steele.

One Great Chapter!,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Race and Politics: New Challenges and Responses for Black Activism (The Haymarket Series) (Paperback)
While I liked the approach of the book and agree with some of its conclusions, the chapter written by Dr. Cynthia Hamilton is worth the price and time required to study the text.
