Description
The Challenge of Blackness: The Institute of the Black World and Political Activism in the 1970s by Derrick E. White This book provides a new perspective on the turbulent years following Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination, examining the history and legacy of the Institute of the Black World (IBW). Founded as a think tank based in Atlanta, the IBW aimed to combine emerging academic discipline with the Black political agenda. Through the lens of the IBW, Derrick White offers an exciting interpretation of the immediate post-civil rights years in America. The book sheds light on debates over race and class in the United States during the 1970s, a period marked by growing conservatism. By exploring the IBW's approach to addressing these issues, White provides insight into the complexities of Black activism and intellectual discourse in the aftermath of Dr. King's assassination.
