Let Nobody Turn Us Around: Voices of Resistance, Reform, and Renewal
by Manning Marable (editor), Leith Mullings (editor)
Description
Spanning the era of slavery through the close of the twentieth century, this wide-ranging anthology gathers speeches, essays, interviews, manifestos, and other essential documents that illuminate African American thought and activism. The selections reveal the diverse—and often contested—voices within Black communities, from integrationist and reformist perspectives to radical, nationalist, and conservative visions of change. Framing commentary places each period in context while exploring the roles of class, gender, migration, religion, literature, music, and ties to Africa and the Caribbean. Together, these writings offer a dynamic portrait of resistance, social transformation, internal debate, and the ongoing pursuit of freedom and renewal.
