Content: The riots in Crown Heights, New York. The fiery speeches of Khalid Muhammad. The controversial politics of Farrakhanism. The relationship between American Jews and African-Americans has made front-page headlines in the 1990s and has become one of the country's most provocative issues. The recent explosive events have provoked a new assessment of the many years of discord between these sometime allies, sometime enemies - and a return to the simple yet perplexing question: What is the fight really about? From Paul Berman, renowned writer and critically acclaimed editor of Debating PC, comes a stunning collection of nineteen essays by some of the foremost thinkers of our time - a groundbreaking volume that offers a spectrum of distinguished writing on the subject, exploding myths and finding moral absolutes, baring souls and distilling ideas with logic, passion, and candor. Several of the essays chosen for this collection are original works that appear here for the first time

Content: And several are well-established classics, including the famous New York Times op-ed article by Henry Louis Gates, Jr., James Baldwin's "Negroes Are Anti-Semitic Because They're Anti-White," Norman Podhoretz's "My Negro Problem - and Ours," and Cynthia Ozick's "Literary Blacks and Jews." Both Podhoretz and Ozick have written, especially for this volume, new retrospective commentaries on their own classic essays. Bold meditations on the history of black-Jewish relations are offered by Andrew Hacker and Cornel West, as well as by Paul Berman in his essay "The Other and the Almost the Same," which was widely discussed when it came out in The New Yorker. There are passionate analyses by Shelby Steele, Leon Wieseltier, Richard Goldstein, Jim Sleeper, Joe Wood, bell hooks, and several others

Content: The Civil Rights Movement, the rise of Black Power, Third World alliances, Israel and Zionism, affirmative action, neoconservatism, American slavery, racial segregation, anti-Semitism, the Holocaust - all these topics are woven into a brilliant and eloquent discussion of an issue that is shaping our time. In Blacks and Jews we can hear responsible voices, liberal and conservative alike, speaking from the intellect and from the heart about bigotry and prejudice in today's America, and about the hope for tolerance and democracy in the American future

Content: "This long-overdue biography reestablishes William Monroe Trotter's essential place next to Douglass, Du Bois, and King in the pantheon of American civil rights heroes. William Monroe Trotter (1872- 1934), though still virtually unknown to the wider public, was an unlikely American hero. With the stylistic verve of a newspaperman and the unwavering fearlessness of an emancipator, he galvanized black working- class citizens to wield their political power despite the violent racism of post- Reconstruction America. For more than thirty years, the Harvard-educated Trotter edited and published the Guardian, a weekly Boston newspaper that was read across the nation. Defining himself against the gradualist politics of Booker T. Washington and the elitism of W. E. B. Du Bois, Trotter advocated for a radical vision of black liberation that prefigured leaders such as Marcus Garvey, Malcolm X, and Martin Luther King Jr. Synthesizing years of archival research, historian Kerri Greenidge renders the drama of turn- of- the- century America and reclaims Trotter as a seminal figure, whose prophetic, yet ultimately tragic, life offers a link between the vision of Frederick Douglass and black radicalism in the modern era"--

Series Statement: The library of America 333

Content: Across a turbulent history, Black poets created a rich and multifaceted tradition that has been both a reckoning with American realities and an imaginative response to them. One of the great American art forms, African American poetry encompasses many kinds of verse: formal, experimental, vernacular, lyric, and protest. The anthology opens with moving testaments to the power of poetry as a means of self-assertion, as enslaved people voice their passionate resistance to slavery. This volume captures the power and beauty of this diverse tradition and its challenge to American poetry and culture. The volume also features biographies of each poet and notes that illuminate cultural references and allusions to historical events. -- adapted from jacket

Content: "The rise of the American economy, the persistence of social inequality, and the ongoing struggle for adequate political representation cannot be evaluated separately from slavery, the country's original sin. Five activists who have fought to incorporate slavery into American political discourse are the focus of this timely book, in which Alex Zamalin considers past African American resistance to underscore its future democratic necessity. He looks at the language and conceptions put forward by the American abolitionists David Walker and Frederick Douglass, the antilynching activist Ida B. Wells, the Black Panther Party organizer Huey P. Newton, and the prison reformer Angela Davis. Each through passionate argument revised the core values of the American political tradition and reformed ideas about power, justice, community, action, and the role of emotion in elective outcomes. Zamalin finds numerous examples in which political theory developed a more open and resilient conception of individual liberty after key moments of African American resistance provoked by these activists' work. Their thought encouraged slaves to revolt against their masters, black radical abolitionists to call for the eradication of slavery by any means necessary, black journalists to chastise American institutions for their indifference to lynching, and black radicals to police the police and to condemn racial injustice in the American prison system. Taken together, these movements pushed political theory forward, offering new language and concepts to sustain democracy in tense times. Struggle on Their Minds is a critical text for our contemporary moment, showing how constructive resistance can strengthen the practice of democracy and help disenfranchised groups achieve political parity."--Provided by publisher

Content: 12 Million Black Voices, first published in 1941, combines Wright's prose with startling photographs selected by Edwin Rosskam from the Security Farm Administration files compiled during the Great Depression. The photographs include works by such giants as Walker Evans, Dorothea Lange, and Arthur Rothstein. From crowded, rundown farm shacks to Harlem storefront churches, the photos depict the lives of black people in 1930s America—their misery and weariness under rural poverty, their spiritual strength, and their lives in northern ghettos. Wright's accompanying text eloquently narrates the story of these 90 pictures and delivers a powerful commentary on the origins and history of black oppression in this country. Also included are new prefaces by Douglas Brinkley, Noel Ignatiev, and Michael Eric Dyson. "Among all the works of Wright, 12 Million Black Voices stands out as a work of poetry, ... passion, ... and of love."—David Bradley "A more eloquent statement of its kind could hardly have been devised."—The New York Times Book Review

Content: A look at race relations in the United States as seen through the prism of music from slavery to the present. Equal parts social history and pop culture, this book argues that no form of American music can be described as ethnically pure, and fleshes out the tug-of-war between blacks and whites as they create, recreate, and claim each innovation in popular music. Taking a thought-provoking look at how genres such as rock 'n' roll, rhythm 'n blues, jazz, blues, soul, country, and hip-hop emerged through changing times and the dynamic personalities that shaped them, author Kevin Phinney chronicles the history of American music through its succession of black and white composers, performers, and entrepreneurs who have stepped into the limelight with one set of rules in place and departed having transformed not only the music, but society as well. By using each era's greatest successes as a roadmap, he connects the signposts of America's musical evolution and societal shifts into a panoramic whole.--From publisher description.
