Description:
NY: Atheneum, 1991. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Hardcover in a bright, unclipped dust jacket with edge wear, short closed tears. The first full-length biography--and likely the authoritative one for years to come--of the flamboyant black congressman who, as civil-rights gadfly and as libertine, exemplified the gap between our nation's ideals and practices that was given a name in Gunnar Myrdal's ``American Dilemma.'' Blessed with good looks, eloquence, and a bully pulpit (he succeeded his father as head of the Abyssinian Baptist Church, the nation's largest black congregation), Powell became ``Mr. Civil Rights'' in the pre-King era by combining agitation and electoral politics. As congressman from Harlem, Powell denounced racist southern colleagues and introduced the ``Powell Amendment'' to deny federal funds to projects or organizations that practiced discrimination. In 1960, he became chairman of the House Committee on Education and Labor, then the strongest position ever held by a black…

Description:
New York: Atheneum, 1991. First printing [stated]. Hardcover. Good/Good. x, [2], 545, [3] pages. Illustrations. Notes. Index. Corners of several pages creased. DJ has some wear and soiling, with some edge tears. Charles Vernon Hamilton (born October 19, 1929) is a political scientist, civil rights leader, and the W. S. Sayre Professor Emeritus of Government and Political Science at Columbia University. He joined the Columbia University faculty in 1969 and Hamilton retired in 1998. His most noted work is Black Power: The Politics of Liberation, written with Stokely Carmichael. Cashmore and Jennings argue that Hamilton and Carmichael were the first to use the term institutional racism in a systematic fashion. This book offers a sympathetic and judicious portrait of Adam Clayton Powell (1908-1972), the flamboyant reverend and unapologetically arrogant yet morally principled champion of civil rights. This biography effectively chronicles Powell's rise and fall. In this authoritative…
