The Modern African American Political Thought Reader is an important and timely resource for the study of African American History and Culture.Peniel E. Joseph, author of Dark Days, Bright Nights: From Black Power to Barack ObamaCutting through the 'noise' of a new class of mainstream media pundits, The Modern African American Political Thought Reader provides a great social and intellectual service by connecting an illustrious past and present of African American thought production. The discourse, and the actions this discourse inspires, is an invaluable contribution to a much-needed delineation of the nuances within black historical and contemporary political thought. Most importantly, The Modern African American Political Thought Reader necessarily troubles our conception of "the" black community as a singular, unified entity. Instead, Jones' volume reveals the plurality and collisions of intellectual debate that are crucial to shaping a vital vision of African Americans with a linked destiny, but disparate strategies for achieving social justice.Kimberly Springer, author of Living for the Revolution: Black Feminist Organizations, 1968–1980
