description: Interpreting the skein of evidence trailing from the racism inherent in white civilization, the author of this book rescues Black nationalism from junk-jive hallucinations and grounds it in the political-economic realities of racist America. Dr. Munford wields the historical method with surgical precision to examine issues vital to today's African Americans -- unemployment, the economic redundancy thrust upon Black youths, and Black capitalism and the role of the entrepreneur; the crimminalization of Black males, police brutality, and the political economy of prisons; health, education, miscegenation, and the system of welfare for white folks; affirmative action, parity and compensation for racial discrimmination past and present, majority Black electoral districting, constitutional amendments to guarantee proportionate Black political representation, "Rainbow" alliances and 21st-century strategy and tactics, and the meaning of latter-day Black Power. Infused with the spirit of Pan-Africanism, this book exposes the global incompatibility between white world supremacy and Black Liberation. It confronts all Africans -- continentals and diasporans -- with the twenty-first century's stark imperative: Power through reparations? Or the holocaust of continued white racism?
