"A fresh reassessment of one of the most powerful black men in
American history. This book will help reshape the prism through
which the life, work, strategy, and contributions of Booker T.
Washington are examined."--David H. Jackson Jr., author of "A Chief
Lieutenant of the Tuskegee Machine" "Although scholars and lay
persons alike most often think of Washington as an educator, this
impressive text reveals that his business ideas and practices have
had a much greater and longer impact on Americans, especially
African Americans."--Kenneth Hamilton, Southern Methodist
University Michael Boston offers a radical departure from other
interpretations of Booker T. Washington by focusing on the latter's
business ideas and practices. More specifically, Boston examines
Washington as an entrepreneur, spelling out his business philosophy
at great length and discussing the influence it had on black
America. He analyzes the national and regional economies in which
Washington worked and focuses on his advocacy of black business
development as the key to economic uplift for African Americans.
The result is a revisionist book that responds to the skewed
literature on Washington even as it offers a new framework for
understanding him. Based upon a deep reading of the Tuskegee
archives, it acknowledges Washington not only as a champion of
black business development but one who conceived and implemented
successful strategies to promote it as well. "The Business Strategy
of Booker T. Washington" makes abundantly clear that Washington was
not an accommodationist; it will be required reading for any future
discussion of this titan of history.
