Despite the growing scholarly interest in the Civil Rights
movement, to date there has been no comprehensive examination of
the Black Power movement. Black Power in the Belly of the Beast
fills this gap by providing the first in-depth look at the Black
Power movement from the 1963 founding of the Revolutionary Action
Movement (RAM) to the Black Power Movement's demise in the mid
1970s. The volume's twelve contributors include well-known scholars
such as James A. Geschwender and Douglas Glasgow as well as
prominent community activists Akbar Muhammad Ahmad, Floyd W. Hayes
III, and Komozi Woodard. Each of their chapters explores a single
Black Power organization including Us, the Black Panther Party, and
the Deacons for Defense and Justice. Important but lesser-known
Black Power organizations such as the Republic of New Afrika and
Sons of Watts are paid equal attention, as contributors address
issues including self-defense, Black identity, and the politics of
class and gender. Throughout, authors emphasize the primary role
that Black institutions and charismatic leaders played in the rise,
development, and eventual decline of the overall movement.
