Top Down: The Ford Foundation, Black Power, and the Reinvention of Racial Liberalism: Politics and Culture in Modern America

Autor Karen Ferguson
en Limba Engleză Electronic book text – 12 iun 2013
Karen Ferguson explores the consequences of the counterintuitive and unequal relationship between the elite liberal Ford Foundation and black power activists, arguing that codeveloped initiatives in education, community development, and the arts contributed to the recreation of racial liberalism in the neo-conservative era and beyond.

Recenzii

"Vigorously argued and thoroughly grounded in research from the extensive Ford Foundation archives, this important book carefully traces the roots of the Foundation's 'developmental separatism' as well as the evolving contours of social and political thought within the black public sphere, effectively putting the two forms of separatism in dialogue with one another."-Alice O'Connor, University of California, Santa Barbara "Karen Ferguson's Top Down is a provocative and often brilliant history of the single most important philanthropic institution in the long civil rights era. The Ford Foundation and similar philanthropies, she argues compellingly, shaped Black Power and other radical movements of the 1960s and 1970s."-Felicia Kornbluh, University of Vermont
