{"product_id":"9780814736845","title":"A Brief and Tentative Analysis of Negro Leadership","description":"\u003cp\u003eA world-renowned scholar and statesman, Dr. Ralph J. Bunche (1903—1971) began his career as an educator and a political scientist, and later joined the United Nations, serving as Undersecretary General for seventeen of his twenty-five years with that body. This African American mediator was the first person of color anywhere in the world to be awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace. In the mid-1930s, Bunche played a key role in organizing the National Negro Congress, a popular front-styled group dedicated to progressive politics and labor and civil rights reform.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA Brief and Tentative Analysis of Negro Leadership\u003c\/b\u003e provides key insight into black leadership at the dawn of the modern civil rights movement. Originally prepared for the Carnegie Foundation study, An American Dilemma: The Negro Problem and Modern Democracy, Bunche’s research on the topic was completed in 1940. This never-before-published work now includes an extended scholarly introduction as well as contextual comments throughout by Jonathan Scott Holloway.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDespite the fact that Malcolm X called Bunche a “black man who didn't know his history,” Bunche never wavered from his faith that integrationist politics paved the way for racial progress. This new volume forces a reconsideration of Bunche's legacy as a reformer and the historical meaning of his early involvement in the civil rights movement.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New York University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47069534585072,"sku":"9780814736845","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780814736845_p0.jpg?v=1763752357","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780814736845","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
