Description: Challenge of Blackness : The Institute of the Black World and Political Activism in the 1970s, Paperback by White, Derrick E.; Harrold, Stanley (FRW); Miller, Randall M. (FRW), ISBN 0813044448, ISBN-13 9780813044446, Brand New, Free shipping in the US <i>The Challenge of Blackness</i> examines the history and legacy of the Institute of the Black World (IBW), one of the most important Black Freedom Struggle organizations to emerge in the aftermath of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. A think tank based in Atlanta, the IBW sought to answer King's question "Where do we go from here?" Its solution was to organize a broad array of leading Black activists, scholars, and intellectuals to find ways to combine the emerging academic discipline of Black Studies with the Black political agenda. Throughout the 1970s, debates over race and class in the Unites States grew increasingly hostile, and the IBW's approach was ultimately unable to challenge the growing conservatism. By using the IBW as the lens through which to view these turbulent years, Derrick White provides an exciting new interpretation of the immediate post-civil rights years in America.
