"The Black Revolution on Campus" is the definitive account of an
extraordinary but forgotten chapter of the black freedom struggle.
In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Black students organized
hundreds of protests that sparked a period of crackdown,
negotiation, and reform that profoundly transformed college life.
At stake was the very mission of higher education. Black students
demanded that public universities serve their communities; that
private universities rethink the mission of elite education; and
that black colleges embrace self-determination and resist the
threat of integration. Most crucially, black students demanded a
role in the definition of scholarly knowledge. Martha Biondi
masterfully combines impressive research with a wealth of
interviews from participants to tell the story of how students
turned the slogan "black power" into a social movement. Vividly
demonstrating the critical linkage between the student movement and
changes in university culture, Biondi illustrates how victories in
establishing Black Studies ultimately produced important
intellectual innovations that have had a lasting impact on academic
research and university curricula over the past 40 years. This book
makes a major contribution to the current debate on Ethnic Studies,
access to higher education, and opportunity for all.
