商品簡介
Twelve essays profile the ideas and leadership of Booker T. Washington, Louis Farrakhan, Harold Washington, and W. E. B. Du Bois. Marable (history, Columbia U.) criticizes the integrationist approach of Harold Washington, the accommodation of Booker T. Washington, and the nationalist separatism of Farrakhan, while praising the radical democratic approach of Du Bois. He argues that Du Bois's linkage of class and race issues, and his emphasis on democracy from below are the proper means towards achieving a "full redefinition of America's democratic project." Other essays examine topics from the debates and compromises regarding race that were part of the adoption of the U.S. Constitution to the current search for new directions by African- Americans in organized labor.
