This book examines the evolution of Black Power activism at the local
level. Comprised of essays that examine Black Power's impact at the
grassroots level in cities in the North, South, Mid-West and West, this
anthology expands on the profusion of new scholarship that is taking a
second look at Black Power, connecting grassroots activism to national
struggles for black self-determination and international African
independence movements, and actively rewriting postwar African American
history.
