Between the 1950s and 1970s, Black Power coalesced as activists
advocated a more oppositional approach to fighting racial
oppression, emphasizing racial pride, asserting black political,
cultural, and economic autonomy, and challenging white power. In
Concrete Demands, Rhonda Y. Williams provides a rich, deeply
researched history that sheds new light on this important social
and political movement, and shows that the era of expansive Black
Power politics that emerged in the 1960s had long roots and diverse
trajectories within the 20th century. Looking at the struggle from
the grassroots level, Williams highlights the role of ordinary
people as well as more famous historical actors, and demonstrates
that women activists were central to Black Power. Vivid and highly
readable, Concrete Demands is a perfect introduction to Black Power
in the twentieth century for anyone interested in the history of
black liberation movements.
