The discourse, and the actions this discourse inspires, is an invaluable contribution to a much-needed delineation of the nuances within black historical and contemporary political thought. Most importantly, The Modern African American Political Thought Reader necessarily troubles our conception of \"the\" black community as a singular, unified entity. Instead, Jones' volume reveals the plurality and collisions of intellectual debate that are crucial to shaping a vital vision of African Americans with a linked destiny, but disparate strategies for achieving social justice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKimberly Springer, author of \u003cem\u003eLiving for the Revolution: Black Feminist Organizations, 1968–1980\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart I: The Antebellum Era: the Rise of Abolitionism \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1: David Walker\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 2: Maria Stewart\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 3: Frederick Douglass\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 4: Anna Julia Cooper\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart II: Reconstruction and Beyond: Debates over the Negro Problem and the Creation of Civil Rights Discourse\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 5: Alexander Crummell\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 6: Booker T.
