"Black Power! It was a phrase that consumed the American imagination in the 1960's
and 70's and inspired a new agenda for black freedom. Dynamic and transformational,
the black power movement embodied more than media stereotypes of gun-toting, dashiki-wearing
black radicals; the movement opened new paths to equality through political and economic
empowerment. In Harambee City, Nishani Frazier chronicles the rise and fall of black
power within the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) by exploring the powerful influence
of the Cleveland CORE chapter. Frazier explores the ways that black Clevelanders began
to espouse black power ideals including black institution building, self-help, and
self-defense. These ideals challenged CORE's philosophy of interracial brotherhood
and nonviolent direct action, spawning ideological ambiguities in the Cleveland chapter.
Later, as Cleveland CORE members rose to national prominence in the organization,
they advocated an open embrace of black power and encouraged national CORE to develop
a notion of black community uplift that emphasized economic populism over political
engagement. Not surprisingly, these new empowerment strategies found acceptance in
Cleveland. By providing an understanding of the tensions between black power and the
mainstream civil rights movement as they manifested themselves as both local and national
forces, Harambee City sheds new light on how CORE became one of the most dynamic civil
rights organizations in the black power era."--Publisher's description
