Black Vanguards and Black Gangsters: From Seeds of Discontent to a Declaration of War

By Steven R. Cureton

Examines the extent to which black gangsterism is a product of civil rights gains, community transition, black flight, social activism, and failed grassroots social movement groups. The voice of the ghetto was silenced by a black leadership preoccupied with a middle-class integrationist agenda, leading to confusion, frustration, and the emergence of black gangs.
