| dc.description | This book is about the phenomenon of black nationalism in the United States—the effort of thousands of American Negroes to resolve for themselves this fundamental problem of identity and to provide a context for their moral, cultural, and material advancement within the limits set by the American scene. The book describes the ideology of black nationalism, its organizations, leaders and programs, focusing on the Nation of Islam —a Muslim movement led by Elijah Muhammad. It attempts to explain not only the behavior of tire black nationalists, but also the meaning and significance of the movement for the participants and for the society as a whole. | |
