| Editorial Review / Publisher's Information:
Product Description
In 1967, this revolutionary work exposed the depths of systemic racism in this country and provided a radical political framework for reform: true and lasting social change would only be accomplished through unity among African-Americans and their independence from the preexisting order. An eloquent document of the civil rights movement that remains a work of profound social relevance 25 years after it was first published.

• A Bible For Black Nationalism 19 September, 1999
I first read this book in 1993, after reading this book again it gives a not only a revealing truth of the american black experience, but a foundation for these beliefs and clear logical thought which makes this book a MUST READ and not just angry rhetoric printed on paper.

• Questionable Probative Value 30 March, 2000
Carmichael has been discredited. To the extent that "Black Power" induced Afro-Americans to step up the pace and scope of black advancement in our society, it was a positive and welcome influence. To the extent that BP was the precursor to current-day notions of mindless multiculturalism and "institutional racism" it did us all, black and white, a grave insult. For an example of what oppression REALLY looks like, see Cuba.

• A Good Political Analysis 09 August, 2006
Harold Cruse - who I rarely disagree with - gave this book along with Carmichael and Hamilton a semi-beating in his work, 'The Crisis of the Negro Intellectual'. Unfairly, I have to say. Yes, this work is more reformist than revolution and yes there are a few inconsistencies. However, the book is analytically sound for the time and especially for their ages. Also,when you consider the condition Black people were in - and still are as a matter of fact - it seems obvious that some kind of temporal patchwork be done if for no other reason than to slow the bleeding. Carmichael and Hamilton's recommendations were a good start.
