Details Product: By 1970, more than 60 Pan African nationalist schools, from preschools to post-secondary ventures, had appeared in urban settings across the United States. The small, independent enterprises were often accused of teaching hate and were routinely harassed by authorities. Yet these institutions served as critical mechanisms for transmitting black consciousness. Founded by activist-intellectuals, the schools strove not simply to bolster the academic skills and self-esteem of inner-city African-American youth but also to decolonize minds and embody the principles of self-determination and African identity. In We Are An African People, historian Russell Rickford traces the brief lives of these autonomous black institutions created to claim some of the self-determination that the integrationist civil rights movement had failed to provide. Influenced by Third World theorists and anticolonial movements, organizers of the schools saw formal education as a means of creating a vanguard of young activists devoted to the struggle for black political sovereignty throughout the world. Most of the schools were short-lived, but their stories have much to tell us about Pan Africanism as a social and intellectual movement and as a key part of an indigenous black nationalism. A former journalist, Rickford uses a virtually unknown movement to explore black nationhood and a particularly fertile period of political, cultural, and social revitalization that envisioned an alternate society.

By 1970, more than 60 "Pan African nationalist" schools, from preschools to postsecondary
ventures, had appeared in urban settings across the United States. The
small, independent enterprises were often accused of teaching hate and were
routinely harassed by authorities. Yet these institutions served as critical mechanisms
for transmitting black consciousness. Founded by activist-intellectuals, the schools
strove not simply to bolster the academic skills and self-esteem of inner-city African-
American youth but also to decolonize minds and embody the principles of selfdetermination
and African identity. In We Are An African People, historian Russell
Rickford traces the brief lives of these autonomous black institutions created to claim
some of the self-determination that the integrationist civil rights movement had failed
to provide. Influenced by Third World theorists and anticolonial movements,
organizers of the schools saw formal education as a means of creating a vanguard of
young activists devoted to the struggle for black political sovereignty throughout the
world. Most of the schools were short-lived, but their stories have much to tell us
about Pan Africanism as a social and intellectual movement and as a key part of an
indigenous black nationalism. A former journalist, Rickford uses a virtually unknown
movement to explore black nationhood and a particularly fertile period of political,
cultural, and social revitalization that envisioned an alternate society.
