描述
Despite black gains in modern America, the end of racism is not yet in sight. Nikhil Pal Singh asks what happened to the worldly and radical visions of equality that animated black intellectual activists from W. E. B. Du Bois in the 1930s to Martin Luther King, Jr. in the 1960s. In so doing, he constructs an alternative history of civil rights in the twentieth century, a long civil rights era, in which radical hopes and global dreams are recognized as central to the history of black struggle.
It is through the words and thought of key black intellectuals, like Du Bois, Ralph Bunche, C. L. R. James, Richard Wright, Ralph Ellison, Langston Hughes, and others, as well as movement activists like Malcolm X and Black Panthers, that vital new ideas emerged and circulated. Their most important achievement was to create and sustain a vibrant, black public sphere broadly critical of U.S. social, political, and civic inequality.
Finding racism hidden within the universalizing tones of reform-minded liberalism at home and global democratic imperatives abroad, race radicals alienated many who saw them as dangerous and separatist. Few wanted to hear their message then, or even now, and yet, as Singh argues, their passionate skepticism about the limits of U.S. democracy remains as indispensable to a meaningful reconstruction of racial equality and universal political ideals today as it ever was.

His historiographyand analysis are important and represent a new generation ofhistorians examining the Civil Rights Movement and race in Americafrom fresh perspectives. --Sherri L. Barnes, Library Journal<em>Black is a Country</em> is a work of great urgency; it is oneof those books you carry with you, read over and over again, andquote often. Nikhil Singh puts to rest our national founding myththat America was always a source of "justice for all." Instead, hefinds within the black radical critique of U.S. racial capitalism amore inclusive, global, and universalist vision which has thepotential of renewing democracy and dismantling racism once and forall. --Robin D. G. Kelley, Columbia University and author of<em>Freedom Dreams</em> <em>Black is a Country</em> is abeautifully, written, elegantly argued, and exhaustively researchedstudy of the links between African American social movements andnew ways of knowing. From his skilled exegesis of 1930s writings byW.E.B. Du Bois through provocative arguments about the prominenceof the Black Panther Party during the 1960s to his sophisticatedunderstanding of the limits of both multiculturalism and 'colorblind' interchangeability, Singh presents challenging, original,and persuasive interpretations of topics that are much discussedbut little understood. This is a splendid book, one that will bewidely read, frequently taught, and often cited. --George Lipsitz,University of California, Santa Cruz <em>Black Is a Country</em> isa rare work that succeeds both as theory and as history. Readingand researching widely in movement history, political economy andabove all in the writings, speeches and styles of Blackintellectuals and activists in the 20th century, Singh shows howAfrican American thinkers and organizers literally made historyfrom the edges. His book should be read by all those who care abouthow U.S. freedom movements fit into worlds of race. --David R.Roediger, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign <em>Black is aCountry</em> is an elegant account of the paradoxical relationshipbetween race as a resource of hope and racism as an enduring curseat the core of this country's cultural and political imagination.In lucid and often lyrical prose, Nikhil Singh argues that racefunctions as a highly durable and oppressive technology yet racesimultaneously provided a political space for 20th centuryintellectuals and activists to enlarge upon the public meaning ofwords like freedom and democracy. <em>Black is a Country</em>deserves to be widely read; it is the work of a gifted youngscholar that promises to provoke a rethinking of classic liberalaccounts of race, class and democracy. --Lani Guinier, Harvard LawSchool and coauthor of <em>The Miner's Canary</em>
