Including a section of historical documents and containing writings by leading contemporary spokesmen, The Black Power Revolt shows the emergence of a black consciousness which confronts established institutions and demands autonomy as a precondition for participation. From the rise of Black Power to significant application, the theme is identity: cultural, economic and political. Theory and practice are examined; the philosophic and the programmatic interpenetrate. This provocative and Timely book, written by people concerned publicly and privately with Black Power — actress and politician, playwright+ and educator, parent and exile — has meaning for all those who have an awareness of our democratic heritage and an interest in American social progress.
