Harding, Vincent The Other American Revolution
Los Angeles/Atlanta Center for Afro-American Studies (CAAS) /Institute of the Black World 1982 (c.1980) 0-934934-10-X / 9780934934107 2nd printing Hardcover Near Fine in Very Good dj
[tight clean copy, very light shelfwear; jacket shows some wear and minor chipping at edges]. (Afro-American Culture and Society, Volume 4) Series "A striking difference between this book and other surveys of the centuries-old black struggle for freedom in the United States is the perspective of its scholar-historian-philosopher-activist author, who has participated in the movements for freedom, justice and social transformation of the past quarter century. [He] developed [the book] from research and writing initially geared toward an aborted television series scheduled for airing between 1975 and 1976, the Bicentennial year, which is part of the significance of the book's title. In it he tells the story of the people, the movements, and the ideas that have given substance to one of the longest unbroken struggles for liberation in the modern world; and he concludes with perspectives on the modern period from Martin Luther King's assassination to 1979." A cover blurb adds that the book "explodes the racist myth that before the Freedom Movement of the 1950s and 1960s black people were only passive victims -- long suffering but incapable of initiating effective struggle. Resistance and rebellion are revealed as persistent themes of black American history, and the crucial role played by the black movement in the struggle to transform the whole American society is made clear."
