Since its original publication in 1984, Manning Marable's book has become widely known as one of the most crucial political and social histories of African Americans, and their struggle for civil rights and equality, since World War II. This updated third edition brings the study into the Twenty-First century, analyzing the effects of such factors as black neo-conservatism, welfare reform, the Million Man March, the mainstreaming of hip-hop culture, 9/11, and Hurricane Katrina.
