Soul Power: Culture, Radicalism, and the Making of a U.S. Third World Left

"InSoul Power, Cynthia A. Young recovers the important hidden history of internationalism and world-transcending citizenship within the U.S. Black Freedom movement of the mid-twentieth century. This lively, engrossing, and engaging study reveals how commitments to global justice permeated the actions and ideas of Black trade union organizers, armed self-defense groups, community-based nationalists, visionary filmmakers, and radical feminists. Young demonstrates that the ferment and upheaval in Black communities in the mid-twentieth century did not just generate demands for equal rights inside the U.S. nation but raised as well programs aimed at ending imperialism, colonialism, and exploitation around the world."-George Lipsitz, author ofAmerican Studies in a Moment of DangerCynthia A.
