In Race and Resistance: African-Americans in the 21st Century, leading African-American scholars and activists discuss the state of Black America today and the prospects for achieving full civil rights and equality.

This broad, inclusive anthology makes a vital contribution to our understanding of racism and how it can be overcome. Essays address issues of spirituality and activism; wisdom and cultural expression; the continuing impact of AIDS in the African-American community; race and globalization; the anti-enforcement violence movement; black feminism, the history of the reparations movement in the US; environmental justice; and the media.
