Black (and white) radicals call for the overthrow of the government, for the destruction of what they believe to be a pervasively racist society. Theirs is the voice of violence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eResponding are those who demand order at any price: additional laws, harsher penalties, the prompt and sometimes indiscriminate use of police and National Guard force. These, too, are the voices of violence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToo often, the voices of the extremists are the only ones we hear; and we begin to believe that we have to choose between them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSterling Tucker believes there is another way- the way of sanity and realism.

He discusses the meaning of Black Power, suggest- ing that this concept initially released wholesome energy, but was not able to offer strength, purpose and cohesion to the equal rights movement. Turn- ing to an assessment of the national mood, the author shows that fear and guilt have prevented white America from understanding black anger; misconstruing the nature of black violence, whites have enshrined \"law and order\" at the expense of justice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen Tucker proceeds with an analysis of realistic strategies. Having shown the failure of black radicals to relate to the realities of the American scene, he considers separatism as a concept, showing its dangers as an ideology as well as its constructive uses as a temporary tactic. He deals at length with the question of alliances, and suggests the ways in which whites, earlier banished from black organizations, can be enlisted again without compromise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on his own experience as head of Urban League Field Services, Tucker shows how broader elements of society can be engaged in\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Best Of Used Books","offers":[{"title":"Used","offer_id":45555928039681,"sku":"31KT1RT35-Used","price":799.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0421\/4299\/0495\/files\/wdddddddd.jpg?v=1725091357","url":"https:\/\/bestofusedbooks.com\/products\/for-blacks-only-hardcover-rare-books","provider":"Best Of Used Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
