Black Power beyond Borders

The Global Dimensions of the Black Power Movement

Herausgegeben: Slate, N.

Beschreibung

Black Power burst out of nowhere in 1966 a saga of pride, anger, and violence that threatened the civil rights movement and challenged the very fabric of America. Or at least that's how it seemed to many Americans. The story of Black Power is older, richer, and more global than many recognize. In Black Power Beyond Borders , famous figures like Stevie Wonder and the Black Panthers emerge in a new light alongside lesser known organizations like the Polynesian Panthers. From Harlem and Oakland to India and Israel, Black Power inspired movements that challenged boundaries throughout the world.

Rezensionen

'This path-breaking collection offers new insights into the global resonances of Black Power in such unexpected locales as New Zealand, Israel, and India, while also situating the US Black Power movement and its antecedents within the political and cultural traditions, and collective memory, of the African diaspora. Scholars and lay readers alike will find this a rewarding collection that dramatically transforms their understandings of the movement.' - Penny Von Eschen, professor of History, University of Michigan, USA
