{"product_id":"the-essential-harold-cruse-william-jelani-cobb-9780312293963","title":"The Essential Harold Cruse: A Reader","description":"In 1967, as the movement for civil rights was turning into a bitter, often violent battle for black power, Harold Cruse's The Crisis of the Negro Intellectual burst onto the scene. It was a lacerating attack on integration, and set the agenda for black cultural, social, and political autonomy. A classic of African American social thought, the book and its author went on to influence generations of activists, artists, and scholars. Cruse's intelligence, independence, and breadth of vision virtually defined what it meant to be a black intellectual in modern America. In this first anthology of Cruse's writing, William Jelani Cobb provides a powerful introduction to Cruse's wide body of work, including published material such as excerpts from Crisis, as well as unpublished essays, speeches, and correspondence. The Essential Harold Cruse is certain to become standard reading for anyone interested in race in American society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Harold Cruse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0312293968\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780312293963\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e St. Martin's Griffin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/23\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.04lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.09w x 0.92d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePW Notes and Reprints\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/11\/2002 pg. 180\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/15\/2002 pg. 95\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBlack Issues Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2002 pg. 60\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/11\/2002","brand":"Harold Cruse","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43981557793023,"sku":"9780312293963","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5f83c7d9-8501-4b5c-b4b9-15237a1cfd44.jpg?v=1683256268","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-essential-harold-cruse-william-jelani-cobb-9780312293963","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
