White power: the colonial situation -- Black power: its need and substance -- The myths of coalition -- Mississippi Freedom Democrats: bankruptcy of the establishment -- Black-belt election: new day a'coming -- Tuskegee, Alabama: the politics of deference -- Dynamite in the ghetto -- The search for new forms.
In 1967, this revolutionary work exposed the depths of systemic racism in this country and provided a radical political framework for reform: true and lasting social change would only be accomplished through unity among African-Americans and their independence from the preexisting order. An eloquent document of the civil rights movement that remains a work of profound social relevance 25 years after it was first published.
