Black Leadership

Black Leadership

The history of the black struggle for civil rights and political and economic equality in America is tied to the strategies, agendas, and styles of black leaders. Marable examines different models of black leadership and the figures who embody them: integration (Booker T. Washington, Harold Washington), nationalist separatism (Louis Farrakhan), and democratic transformation (W.E.B. Du Bois). In this study, the prolific Marable (history, Columbia and director of the Institute for Research in African-American Studies) examines the key personalities and critical themes of 20th-century black political history.
