The Golden Age of Black Nationalism
Book •
Wilson Moses's 'The Golden Age of Black Nationalism' traces the rise and dynamics of Black nationalist thought and organizations, highlighting internal class tensions and debates about leadership and strategy.
The book explores how different Black social strata—working class and bourgeoisie—articulated distinct visions for emancipation and community development.
Moses situates these debates in historical contexts to reveal how class shaped movements' goals, tactics, and outcomes.
By examining elite attitudes toward newly freed workers and later activists, the work illuminates persistent internal conflicts that influenced movement trajectories.
Its analysis helps explain why class-based critiques remain central to understanding Black political history and contemporary struggles.
