Editorial Reviews
Review
“Dreaming Blackness…is a richly layered text that promises to be an enlightening addition to courses in American politics and African American studies.”–Erica R. Edwards “National Political Science Review”
“Price has given us one of the few and one of the best studies of Black Nationalism and African American public opinion. She goes beyond the Malcolm v. Martin binary to interrogate the tendencies toward separatism and integrationism that are present in virtually all African Americans.”–Charles P. Henry, author of Long Overdue: The Politics of Racial Reparations
