"In the 1990s, new forms of racism structure the lives of people of color in ways that are simultaneously less obvious and more treacherous. Black Liberation in Conservative America chronicles these developments -- including the globalization of capital and an expanding prison system -- against the backdrop of rising conservatism and the insinuation of rightwing ideologies into Black community formations. Marable contests what he considers to be an ineffectual emphasis on electoral politics and argues that the future of black liberation will have to be fought out on a civil terrain. This work offers invaluable theoretical and practical guidance to scholars and activists alike." -- Angela Davis
