Fight for Black Empowerment in the USA

<p>This book advances the view that concentrated black power is the backbone of the Democratic Party and as such black empowerment represents the last hope for the US both domestically and internationally. Through analyses of secondary data historical archives and a variety of political and economic statistical indicators it examines the relationship between black empowerment and America's global stature across its history exploring the socio-historical context in which obstacles to black empowerment have occurred and the strategies that have been adopted across time for its realization. An examination of what Black political legal economic and cultural power looks like <i>The Fight for Black Empowerment in the USA</i> makes an urgent call for the up-lift and empowerment of the black population without which the nation faces irreversible political and economic dysfunction domestically and a loss of its status as a global superpower. As such it will appeal to scholars across the social sciences with interests in racial and ethnic inequalities and contemporary American society.</p>
