Since its original publication in 1984, Manning Marable\'s Race, Reform, and Rebellion has become widely known as the most crucial political and social history of African Americans since World War II.
The Third Edition provides: Perspective on recent catastrophic events Context on how 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina magnified persistent racial injustice Analysis of such devastating, long-term trends as urban decay, illegal drug use, and increased poverty An up-to-date text from one of the nation\'s leading scholars.
Race, Reform, and Rebellion illustrates how poverty, illegal drugs, unemployment, and a deteriorating urban infrastructure hammered the African American community in the 1980s and early 1990s.
He explores the increased participation of blacks and other ethnic groups in governmental systems and the white reaction during the period he terms the Second Reconstruction.
Through the 1950s and 1960s, Marable follows the emergence of a powerful Black working class, the successful effort to abolish racial segregation, the outbreak of Black Power, urban rebellion, and the renaissance of Black Nationalism.
Marable\'s work, brought into the present, remains one of the most dramatic, well-conceived, and provocative histories of the struggle for African American civil rights and equality.
This updated edition brings Marable\'s study into the twenty-first century, analyzing the effects of such factors as Black neoconservatism, welfare reform, the Million Man March, the mainstreaming of hip-hop culture, 9/11, and Hurricane Katrina.
Aimed at students of contemporary American politics and society and written by one of the most articulate and eloquent authorities on the movement for Black freedom, this acclaimed study traces the divergent elements of political, social, and moral Reform in nonwhite America since 1945.
