How Capitalism Underdeveloped Black America, Updated Edition
Volume 4, by Dr. Manning Marable, in the South End Press Classics Series
How Capitalism Underdeveloped Black America, a leading text for courses in
African-American politics and history, has been central to the education of
thousands of political activists since the 1980s, selling more than 30,000
copies in its first edition. In this updated edition, Marable examines
developments in the political economy of racism in the United States and
assesses shifts in the American political terrain since the first edition
was published. Marable has updated all of the tables and charts on
African-American poverty, health, employment, education, and spending, as
well as other demographics.
"The reissue of Manning Marable's How Capitalism Underdeveloped Black
America confirms that this is a classic work of political history and
social criticism. Unfortunately, Marable's blistering insights into racial
injustice and economic inequality remain depressingly relevant. But the
good news is that Marable's prescient analysis-and his eloquent and
self-critical preface to this new edition-will prove critical in helping
us to think through and conquer the oppressive forces that
remain."--Michael Eric Dyson
Manning Marable, one of the most widely read black progressive authors in
the country, is Professor of History and Director of the Institute for
Research in African-American Studies at Columbia University in New York
City, where he lives. Marable is a regular contributor to ZNet and Z
Magazine. He writes and lectures widely on history, politics, and current
affairs.
"How Capitalism Underdeveloped Black America has. . . set the standard of
achievement for the current generation of Afro-American
scholar-activists."--Race & Class
