A complex portrait of contemporary black political stances Black
Nationalism is one of the oldest and most enduring ideological
constructs developed by African Americans to make sense of their
social and political worlds. In Dreaming Blackness, Melanye T.
Price explores the current understandings of Black Nationalism
among African Americans, providing a balanced and critical view of
today's black political agenda. She argues that Black Nationalism
continues to enjoy moderate levels of support by most black
citizens but has a more difficult time gaining a larger stronghold
because of increasing diversity among blacks and a growing emphasis
on individualism over collective struggle. She shows that black
interests are a dynamic negotiation among various interested groups
and suggests that those differences are not just important for the
"black agenda" but also for how African Americans think and
dialogue about black political questions daily. Using a mix of
everyday talk and impressive statistical data to explain
contemporary black opinions, Price highlights the ways in which
Black Nationalism works in a "post-racial" society. Ultimately,
Price offers a multilayered portrait of African American political
opinions, providing a new understanding of race specific
ideological views and their impact on African Americans,
persuasively illustrating that Black Nationalism is an ideology
that scholars and politicians should not dismiss.
