Editorial Review:
In 1967, this revolutionary work exposed the depths of systemic racism in this country and provided a radical political framework for reform: true and lasting social change would only be accomplished through unity among African-Americans and their independence from the preexisting order. An eloquent document of the civil rights movement that remains a work of profound social relevance 25 years after it was first published.

Rating:  - A Good Political Analysis
Harold Cruse - who I rarely disagree with - gave this book along with Carmichael and Hamilton a semi-beating in his work, 'The Crisis of the Negro Intellectual'. Unfairly, I have to say.

Rating:  - Questionable probative value
Carmichael has been discredited. To the extent that "Black Power" induced Afro-Americans to step up the pace and scope of black advancement in our society, it was a positive and welcome influence. To the extent that BP was the precursor to current-day notions of mindless multiculturalism and "institutional racism" it did us all, black and white, a grave insult. For an example of what oppression REALLY looks like, see Cuba.
Rating:  - A Bible for Black Nationalism
I first read this book in 1993, after reading this book again it gives a not only a revealing truth of the american black experience, but a foundation for these beliefs and clear logical thought which makes this book a MUST READ and not just angry rhetoric printed on paper.
