Description: The African American experience in the U.S. has enriched American history in countless ways. The overriding theme of that experience, however, is one of exploitation and discrimination. How long will this go on? Are African Americans making progress toward complete incorporation into American society?

The author of this fascinating volume addresses these issues, examines others' accounts, and offers an alternative approach to explaining the "African American predicament." Burman's analysis is a sobering one: No simple answer is available to the problem at hand. Some of the other issues the author addresses are the liberal tradition and Black progress, race and politics (with special emphasis on Atlanta, Georgia), Black nationalism, and Marxism and capitalism and how they relate to Black progress.
