The book covers major aspects of the 20th Century Civil Rights Movement. It is not the standard text on the topic that is usually found because it uses sources directly associated with those whom led and marched on the campaigns. Too often the men and women who knew were an integral part of the civil and human rights struggle are overlooked by those who write on the subject in the Ivory Tower of academia. This book makes a strong effort to reference the voices of those who knew Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on a personal and professional level. The same goes for Minister Malcolm X; who was not part of the mainstream civil rights organizations yet an integral part of the era who cannot be dismissed.Available in both print and eBook (audio-accessible),&nbsp;The 20th Century Civil Rights Movement: An Africana Studies Perspective:is an important book for our times covering the history of the Civil Rights Movement that leads to the present times.is written in an engaging and accessible style this book will be perfect for college students and the general reader.is written by an author with almost thirty years' teaching experience in higher education and has addressed student questions concerning the Civil Rights Movement he's received over the decades.is based on&nbsp;engagement with sources and writers who experienced working and interacting with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X and other key actors in the Civil Rights Movement era.Topics covered: the historical context of the African American experience; catalysts for the movement; the emergence of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr; from the sit-ins to Freedom Riders and Freedom Summer; Minister Malcolm X and the Nation of Islam; white liberals and problematic gradualism; Black Power and the Black Panther Party era; Black women and their contributions to the freedom struggle; the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.; and the legacy of the Civil Rights Movement in relation to the present. This book is written for undergraduates and the general reader in order to give an account of those who struggled so that future generations could be free of racialized discrimination. They may not have succeeded entirely in their quest for cultural, social, economic and political justice, but there is no doubt that whatever freedoms enjoyed today are of a consequence to those that gave their lives to the greatest struggle of the 20th Century for freedom from oppression. &nbsp;

Integrated But Unequal: Black Faculty in Predominately White Space

Africa World+press

This book is groundbreaking and unique. The emphasis is on Black faculty based in the US and UK working in predominately White universities. The scholars in this volume are all successful in their chosen fields, some are extremely successful. Yet they have reached the heights of victory in academia against tremendous odds, existing in Integrated but Unequal institutions of higher learning. They have overcome hurdles, the glass ceiling, and other impediments that have a historical reality related fundamentally to their human connections to African heritage. This volume is not for the timid who believe we are in a post-racial world. Rather it is for the realist who comprehends that we still have a long way to go before there is parity among all faculty in higher education, regardless of one's social background, color, gender, or philosophical grounding. Crucially, it is a book for students, faculty, and high-level administrators in higher education. This collection of scholarly articles on the experiences of faculty of color at predominately white institutions (PWI) of higher learning is profound in its truth-telling about the challenges and triumphs of these experiences. The wonderfully illuminating title of this edited volume suggests the paradoxes of the modern civil-rights movement for equity and inclusion, vis-à-vis the illusion that in the Obama era our society has become race neutral. Quite the contrary, this collection reaffirms that race matters! This is an excellent book for any person of color who may be considering a faculty position at a PWI; and for any university administration that earnestly wants develop a welcoming and nurturing environment for faculty of color. Terry Mills, PhD, Dean for Research and Director of Sponsored Programs Morehouse College, Atlanta, GA Having taught in higher education since the 1980s, I can state from experience that the testimonies in this book are basic truths, unfortunately representing the tip of the iceberg for Black faculty. Regarding the low percentage of Black male scholars, unquestionably the primary targets for the dominant culture, it is important to note that the Black woman today has become the New Black Man, the recipient of cruel racial discrimination, frequently accused of being, like her male counterpart, threatening and intimidating. That stated, this evocative book is relevant both inside and outside of higher education... Clenora Hudson-Weems, Professor, Department of English, University of Missouri-Columbia In this book, the contributors describe the continuing challenges involving race and gender in academia. The subtle bias, continuing skepticism about the legitimacy of Black Studies, and other race and gender-related issues are obstacles to professional growth and development. However, this is not a book about victims; it celebrates the success of black academics that have surmounted the many challenges encountered. The keen insights that the contributors provide makes this book an engaging and much needed addition to the existing literature. Leland Ware, Louis L. Redding Chair and Professor of Law & Public Policy, University of Delaware
