Beyond Black and White: From Civil Rights to Barack Obama

Highly acclaimed dissection of the "new racism," from one of the greatest radical black intellectuals of our time Many in the United States, including Barack Obama, have called for a "post-racial" politics; yet race still divides the country politically, economically, and socially. In this highly acclaimed work, Manning Marable rejects both liberal inclusionist strategies and the separatist politics of the likes of Louis Farrakhan. Looking back at African-American politics and the fight against racism of the recent past, he argues powerfully for a "transformationist" strategy that retains a distinctive black cultural identity but draws together all the poor and exploited in a united struggle against oppression.Product DetailsISBN-13: 9781784787660 Media Type: Paperback Publication Date: 11-08-2016 Pages: 352 Product Dimensions: 7.50h x 5.10w x 1.00d Series: Radical ThinkersAbout the Author Manning Marable (1950-2011) was a Professor of African-American Studies and of Public Affairs, Hi
