The YPO grew from a local street gang into a powerful political and social force in the city's Uptown neighborhood, where it fought against police brutality, racism, economic exploitation, and displacement through community organizing, the establishment of survival programs, and working-class cultural organizations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this first stand-alone history of the YPO, Jesse Montgomery presents the group as one of the New Left's most enigmatic anti-racist organizations--one inspired by the moral and political power of the civil rights movement and the street corner socialism of the Black Panthers but also one that embraced regressive Southern identifiers, such as Confederate flags, that belied its liberatory message. Though the YPO's existence was short-lived, its story helps us to reimagine radical unity in the face of dislocation, political oppression, and the brutal incentives of racial capitalism. As Montgomery argues, its work to cross racial and class lines and build coalitions for the greater good is a symbol of the America that could still be.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jesse Montgomery\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 146969395X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781469693958\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of North Carolina Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/26\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.25h x 6.12w x 1.00d","brand":"Jesse Montgomery","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48447064146175,"sku":"9781469693958","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_91260e01-4aa1-41b9-aebb-b66e65a670ba.jpg?v=1777228573","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/it-is-not-enough-to-jesse-montgomery-9781469693958","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
