The debate on black civil rights in America, Second edition
This book examines the historiography of the African American freedom struggle from the 1890s to the present. It considers how, and why, the study of African American history developed from being a marginalized subject in American universities and colleges at the start of the twentieth century to become one of the most extensively researched areas in American history today. There is analysis of the changing scholarly interpretations of African Am…
The Debate on Black Civil Rights in America
The blossoming of interest in black history since the 1950s was directly linked to the rise of Martin Luther King and the post-Second World War Civil Rights Movement. The advances achieved in desegregation and black voting rights since the 1950s suggested that this was a destination that King's children, and African Americans as a whole, would ultimately reach. In the inter-war years there were indications that some scholars were willing to exami…
Walter F. White
The executive secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (Naacp) from 1930 until his death in 1955, Walter White was arguably the preeminent African American civil rights spokesperson of his day. Yet, some sixty years later, he is largely absent from the public imagination. This neglect, Robert L. Zangrando and Ronald L. Lewis suggest, is caused by a variety of factors. Blond, blue-eyed, and light skinned, White w…
Luis-Alejandro Dinnella-Borrego. The Risen Phoenix
In The Risen Phoenix: Black Politics in the Post–Civil War South, Luis-Alejandro Dinnella-Borrego examines the careers of six post–Civil War black congressmen: John Mercer Langston of Virginia; James Thomas Rapier of Alabama; George Henry White of North Carolina; Robert Smalls of South Carolina; Josiah Thomas Walls of Florida; and John Roy Lynch of Mississippi. Their life experience and periods of public service varied considerably. Smalls, Lynch…
Barack Obama and the Myth of a Post-Racial America
The 2008 presidential election was celebrated around the world as a seminal moment in U.S. political and racial history. White liberals and other progressives framed the election through the prism of change, while previously acknowledged demographic changes were hastily heralded as the dawn of a post-racial America. However, by 2011, much of the post-election idealism had dissipated in the wake of an on-going economic and financial crisis, escala…
African Americans and US Popular Culture
This volume is an authoritative introduction to the history of African Americans in US popular culture, examining its development from the early nineteenth century to the present. Kevern Verney examines: * the role and significance of race in all major forms of popular culture, including sport, film, television, radio and music* how the entertainment industry has encouraged racism through misrepresentations and caricatured images of African Ameri…
Black Civil Rights in America

It provides a clear and useful guide to the political, social and cultural history of black Americans and their pursuit of equal rights and recognition from 1865 through to the present day.

African American Civil Rights
There is a scholarly consensus that early histories of the postwar civil rights movement focused too much on Martin Luther King Jr. Those works were also preoccupied with the period 1955–1968, neglecting earlier developments. Angela Jones argues that similar misconceptions have marred our understanding of the Niagara Movement, a group founded in 1905 to fight segregation and disfranchisement. The Booker T. Washington–W. E. B. Du Bois rivalry is a…
