The decade of the 1960s was an era of protest in America, and
strides toward racial equality were among the most profound effects
of the challenges to America's status quo. But, have civil rights
for African Americans been furthered, or even maintained, in the
four decades since the Civil Rights movement began? To a certain
extent, the movement is popularly perceived as having regressed,
with the real issues tabled or hidden. With a view to assessing
losses and gains, this collection of 17 essays examines the
evolution and perception of the African-American civil rights
movement from its inception through today. The first section of
essays deals with cultural analysis, providing a synopsis of art
history, music and religious studies centered on Africana. Essays
from the Black Power perspective describe the artistic and
political impetus that drove the social process of
self-determination. Essays on the Black Arts movement center on
cultural reclamation. A fourth group of essays examines African
Americans and Islam. Finally, a section of essays on civil rights
looks at look social policy concerns.
