Dickerson Dennis (161 results)

Hardback. Condition: Good. During the turbulent 1960s, civil rights leader Whitney M. Young Jr. devised a new and effective strategy to achieve equality for African Americans. Young blended interracial mediation with direct protest, demonstrating that these methods pursued together were the best tactics for achieving social, economic, and political change. Militant Mediator is a powerful reassessment of this key and controversial figure in the civil rights movement. It is the first biography to explore in depth the influence Young's father, a civil rights leader in Kentucky, had on his son. Dickerson traces Young's swift rise to national prominence as a leader who could bridge the concerns of deprived blacks and powerful whites and mobilize the resources of the white America to battle the poverty and discrimination at the core of racial inequality. Alone among his civil rights colleagues -- Martin Luther King Jr., Roy Wilkins, James Farmer, John Lewis, and James Forman -- Young built support from black and white constituencies. As a National Urban League official in the Midwest and as a dean of the School of Social Work at Atlanta University during the 1940s and 1950s, Young developed a strategy of mediation and put it to work on a national level upon becoming the executive director of the League in 1961. Though he worked with powerful whites, Young also drew support from middle-and working-class blacks from religious, fraternal, civil rights, and educational organizations. As he navigated this middle ground, though, Young came under fire from both black nationalists and white conservatives.…

A bright, shiny, clean, square, tight copy. NO underlining. NO highlighting. NO margin notes. Photo illustrated. Chapter notes. Bibliography. Index. From Ronald L. Lewis in THE AMERICAN HISTORICAL REVIEW: "Most scholarship relating to urban blacks has concentrated on the process of ghettoization. Dickerson breaks with tradition and argues that the historian must focus upon the industry rather than the ghetto community as the principal determinant of the Black worker's economic status. Dickerson analyzes the role of black strikebreaking in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and the basis of class fragmentation, social strains resulting from the migration of southern blacks. and the failure of industry efforts at welfare capitalism. Thoroughly researched in primary sources, this book is a sound piece of scholarship on an important topic and a useful addition to the growing body of literature on black labor in America." A volume from the SUNY Series in Afro-American Studies. INSCRIBED by the AUTHOR. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good condition/No jacket, as issued. 8vo. xiv, 323pp.…
