In Search of Black History

The Rediscovery of Black Nationalism
by Theodore Draper
Viking, 224 pp., $5.95
Theodore Draper sets himself what can only be described as a formidable task in his new book The Rediscovery of Black Nationalism—a historical survey and assessment of black nationalism in America, in fewer than 200 pages. In the deft style to which readers of his books have become accustomed, Draper chronicles the rise and fall of nationalist movements, touching on such nineteenth-century leaders as Paul Cuffe, Bishop Henry Turner, and 'the father of black nationalism,' Martin Delany, and contemporary movements like the Nation of Islam, the Black Panthers, and Black Power.
