Yet his extensive intellectual archive has been a vital resource for historians exploring Black radicalism. By centering Mayfield's lived experiences across five decades and four continents, this book offers a unique lens into the complex intersections of Black communism, Black nationalism, and Black internationalism during the Cold War era. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSomething to Do with Power\u003c\/i\u003e highlights the importance of Mayfield's story of mutual interest and solidarity in shaping literary and political activism, offering a fresh examination of the Black left's role in American culture. His legacy as a writer, propagandist, and artist committed to resisting the domination of white supremacy underscores his significant, though underappreciated, contribution to American history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Romine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1469685124\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781469685120\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 06\/03\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"David Romine","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46293160362239,"sku":"9781469685120","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ad23d780-abb0-411c-81ac-46753197faa0.jpg?v=1730212305","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/something-to-do-with-power-david-romine-9781469685120","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
