Organizing this history around culture, politics, and resistance, Matthew C. Whitaker takes us from World War II as a galvanizing force for African American activism and the modern civil rights movement to the culmination of generations of struggle in the election of Barack Obama. From the promise of the post-World War II era to the black power movement of the 1960s, the economic and political struggles of the 1970s, and the major ideological realignment of political culture during the 1980s, 1990s, and early 2000s, this book chronicles a people fighting oppression while fashioning a dynamic culture of artistic and religious expression along with a program of educational and professional advancement. A resurgence of rigid conservative right-wing policies, the politics of poverty, racial profiling, and police brutality are ongoing counterpoints to African Americans rising to political prominence and securing positions once denied them. A history of African Americans for a new generation, Peace Be Still demonstrates how dramatically African American history illuminates the promise, conflicts, contradictions, hopes, and victories that all Americans share."--$$cProvided by publisher. 000710526 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000710526 650_0 $$aAfrican Americans$$xHistory$$y1877-1964. 000710526 650_0 $$aAfrican Americans$$xPolitics and government$$y20th century. 000710526 650_0 $$aAfrican Americans$$xPolitics and government$$y21st century. 000710526 650_0 $$aAfrican Americans$$xSocial conditions$$y20th century. 000710526 650_0 $$aAfrican Americans$$xSocial conditions$$y21st century. 000710526 650_0 $$aCivil rights movements$$zUnited States$$xHistory$$y20th century. 000710526 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aWhitaker, Matthew C.$$tPeace be still.$$dLincoln : University of Nebraska Press, 2014$$z9780803246935$$z9780803249646$$w(DLC) 2013029667$$w(OCoLC)839395975 000710526 8520_ $$bacq 000710526 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central 000710526 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete 000710526 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=1543725$$zOnline Access 000710526 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=1543725$$zOnline Access 000710526 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:710526$$pGLOBAL_SET 000710526 980__ $$aEBOOK$$aEBOOK 000710526 980__ $$aBIB 000710526 982__ $$aEbook 000710526 983__ $$aOnline
