Summary:

'Black Power, White Heat' is a major historical reinterpretation of the cross-racial alliances of the Sixties' freedom movement. The people at the centre of the account practiced 'solidarity,' a collaborative approach to politics that acknowledged the significance of racial identity but was rooted in shared commitments. And in contrast to those who argue that separatism and a 'hard' identity politics took hold at the end of the era, this book shows otherwise. Cross-racial solidarity in fact continued, and the lessons from it speak directly to the highly charged identity politics disputes that dominate our own era.
