Description

Traces the trajectory of African American social movements from the time of Booker T. Washington to the present. Bush (sociology, St. John's U.) looks at Black Power and other African American social movements with an emphasis on the role of the urban poor in the struggle for Black rights. He looks at African American social movements in the "Age of Imperialism" from 1890-1914, the recomposition of the white-black alliance from the Great Depression to WWII, and the crisis of US hegemony and the transformation from Civil Rights to Black Liberation.
