Mehrsa Baradaran. The Color of Money
Mehrsa Baradaran has produced an important, sobering assessment of historic and contemporary African American banks. Although The Color of Money focuses on black financial institutions, the book’s scope is much larger than an examination of a particular industry. In fact, Baradaran provides an overview of American and African American economic history from the era of slavery to the present. Consequently, the book’s title actually understates its …
Building the Black Metropolis
Building the Black Metropolis
This book examines the entrepreneurial experiences of and contributions by African American entrepreneurs in Chicago. Through a careful examination of black business activity in areas such as finance, media, and the underground economy known as “Policy,” this work illuminates the manner in which blacks in Chicago built a network of competing and cooperative enterprises and a culture of entrepreneurship unique to the city. This network lay at the …
A Man in a Woman's World
Business in Black and White
Business in Black and White provides a panoramic discussion of various initiatives that American presidents have supported to promote black business development in the United States. Many assume that U.S. government interest in promoting black entrepreneurship began with Richard Nixon's establishment of the Office of Minority Business Enterprise (OMBE) in 1969. Drawn from a variety of sources, Robert E. Weems, Jr.'s comprehensive work extends the…
The Right Man”
Despite the widely held notion that U.S. government assistance to African American entrepreneurs commenced in the late 1960s, the evidence indicates that government interest in promoting black business actually began in the 1920s. Beginning with the appointment of James A. Jackson in November 1927, the U.S. Commerce Department’s agenda, until the mid-1950s, included “Negro Affairs.” Jackson’s actions did not generate the direct financial assistan…
The Incorporation of Black Faculty at Predominantly White Institutions
This article provides a historical analysis of the incorporation experiences of the members of African American faculty at University of Missouri's Columbia campus. This article demonstrates how such individual factors as the scholarly reputation of African American faculty, coupled with departmental commitment, can go a long way to foster incorporation within university and college settings. At the same time, this article also demonstrates how a…

The Ideological Origins of Richard M. Nixon's “Black Capitalism” Initiative
The National Response to Richard M. Nixon's Black Capitalism Initiative
Richard M. Nixon viewed an uncontrolled Black Power movement as a major threat to the internal security of the United States (during the late 1960s and early 1970s). To address this situation, Nixon developed his Black capitalism initiative as a domestic version of his widely publicized foreign policy initiative of detente (which sought to contain the power of the Soviet Union and China). Moreover, just as Nixon and Henry Kissinger linked concess…
The African American Experience
Compared to the early decades of the 20th century, when scholarly writing on African Americans was limited to a few titles on slavery, Reconstruction, and African American migration, the last thirty years have witnessed an explosion of works on the African American experience. With the Civil Rights and Black Power movements of the 1960s came an increasing demand for the study and teaching of African American history followed by the publication of…

Desegregating the Dollar
Capitalism and slavery stand as the two economic phenomena that have most clearly defined the United States. Yet, despite African Americans' nearly $500 billion annual spending power, surprisingly little attention has been devoted to the ways U.S. businesses have courted black dollars in post-slavery America. Robert E. Weems, Jr., presents the first fully integrated history of black consumerism over the course of the last century. The World War I…

A Crumbling Legacy
African American insurance companies, since the 1960s, have experienced a significant decline in their profitability and stature. Because of recent racial desegregation, which in an economic sense consists of white-controlled businesses and black consumers increasing their interaction with each other, black insurers are waging an increasingly difficult struggle to survive. It appears the only way African American insurance companies can counterac…
