Black Power
The Politics of Liberation
Book • 1967
This book, co-authored by Kwame Ture (Stokely Carmichael) and Charles V. Hamilton, is a critical analysis of racism and the political struggles faced by black communities in the United States.
It defines Black Power, discusses the historical and systemic roots of racism, and critiques the failures of integration and liberal coalition-building.

The book also examines specific examples of black political organizing, such as the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party and independent black political parties in Lowndes County, Alabama.
