In bringing together the most characteristic and serious writings
by black scholars, authors, journalists, and educators from the
years that preceded the modem civil rights movement,
'African-American Social and Political Thought' provides a
comprehensive guide to the range and diversity of black thought.
The volume offers a deep history of how the terms of contemporary
debate over the future of black Americans were formed. The writings
assembled here reveal a tension and a thread between two essential
poles of thought. These include those voices that clearly projected
civic assimilation as the goal of black aspiration, and those who
described how this aim would be achieved, as well as nationalist or
separatist voices that despaired of ever having a dignified future
in a biracial society. These two positions reflect the most
fundamental questions faced by any minority group. In his forceful
and courageous introduction to this new edition, Howard Brotz
relates the thoughts and reflections of these black thinkers to the
social and political situation of blacks in America today and
argues against the political orthodoxy and sociological determinism
that perpetuates the image of the black as a perennial and passive
victim. In the scope and quality of its contents, African-American
Social and Political Thought is a unique, invaluable source book
for cultural historians, sociologists, and students of black
history.
