Book Synopsis Transformation of the African American Intelligentsia, 1880–2012 by : Martin Kilson
Book excerpt: After Reconstruction, African Americans found themselves largely excluded from politics, higher education, and the professions. Martin Kilson explores how a modern African American intelligentsia developed amid institutionalized racism. He argues passionately for an ongoing commitment to communitarian leadership in the tradition of Du Bois.
