Black Power: Radical Politics and African American Identity

In this insightful work, Jeffrey O. G. Ogbar examines the Black Power movement, exploring how the ideals of desegregation through nonviolence and Black nationalism coexisted and influenced each other. Ogbar delves into the narratives of the Nation of Islam, the Black Panther Party, and mainstream civil rights leaders, revealing that many African Americans embraced both desegregation and nationalism. The book highlights the lasting cultural impact of Black Power, which fostered minority pride and significantly influenced political, cultural, and religious spheres of African American life for decades.
