Title: Could not have come out at a better time
Review: Ahmed Shawki's account of the history and politics of the struggle for Black liberation in America is a must read for any anti-racist. We must learn this history as a guide for how to struggle in the present--one thing I enjoy so much about this book is that it gives the reader a sense of the possibilities that existed during periods of social upheaval. Shawki tells us about the abolitionist movement, reconstruction, the civil rights movement, and the black power movement but in so doing he shows us not only what those struggles accomplished--but what they might have accomplished. Read this book!
