This book presents a comprehensive overview of Black leadership in
every aspect of American life, including movements for social
justice, education, business, and politics. In the quest for human
rights and social advancement, African-American leaders have
emerged to lead the fight to overcome racial and economic barriers.
This struggle has influenced the exercise of Black leadership in
many other areas and the author uses an interdisciplinary approach
to reveal the changes, continuities, and variety of
African-American approaches to effective leadership. The book also
suggests a theoretical framework for future research on the impact
of Black leadership in America. A wide range of issues are
considered in this volume, beginning with the definition of
leadership and the concept of Black leadership. Gordon then
considers outstanding examples of Black leadership in contemporary
America in a variety of fields. Scholars and students in history,
political science, and ethnic studies will find this an important
resource for understanding Black leadership and its impact on
American life.
