Download Agitations: Ideologies and Strategies in African American Politics AudioBook Free
Though the activities of the National Connection for the Improvement of Colored People (NAACP), the Southern Religious Leadership Meeting (SCLC), and the Scholar Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) were unified in their common notion of resistance to oppression, these teams fought their fights on multiple fronts. The NAACP submitted lawsuits and aggressively lobbied Congress and express legislatures, while Martin Luther King Jr., and SCLC challenged the racial position quo through nonviolent mass action, and the SNCC focused on community empowerment activities. In Agitations, Kevin Anderson studies these various activities to be able to trace the ideological foundations of these groups also to understand how diversity among African Americans created multiple political strategies. Agitations runs beyond the typically recognized divide between integrationist and accommodationist wings of African-American politics to explore the diverse fundamental ideologies and tactical final results among African-American activists that still determine, impact, and complicate political life today.
