From Black Power to Barack Obama
by Peniel E. Joseph
...which I think is more useful for its overview of the Black Power movement that its conversation about Obama (which is no slight on the conversation about Obama).
Meanwhile, the same Mr. Joseph has edited the July issue of the Organization of American Historians' Magazine of History. Very, very limited material available for non-members, but worthy of props.
