Publisher Synopsis
Peniel Joseph represents the best of a new generation of scholars whose work will substantially revise our understanding of the Black Freedom Movement. Provocative and masterfully written, "Waiting 'Til the Midnight Hour" not only reveals the radical roots of Black Power but places the key activists and struggles within a global framework. It is one of those critically important books that will be read and debated for many years to come.
--Robin D. G. Kelley, author of "Freedom Dreams: The Black Radical Imagination"
