It was spearheaded by activists such as Pauulu Kamarakafego and the Black Beret Cadre. The Cadre maintained relationships with revolutionary organizations across the African diaspora, such as the Black Panthers. Emerging in the late 1960s, the movement witnessed the assassinations of Bermuda's British chief of police and governor (1972-1973). Swan carefully details the island's colonial government's attempts to destroy the movement through military tactics, extensive propaganda, and the implementation of token social concessions"--Provided by publisher.Contemporary Black history.Black powerBermuda IslandsHistory20th centuryBlacksCivil rightsBermuda IslandsHistory20th centuryCivil rights movementsBermuda IslandsHistory20th centuryYouth movementsBermuda IslandsHistory20th centuryPolitical activistsBermuda IslandsBiographyDecolonizationBermuda IslandsHistory20th centuryBermuda IslandsRace relationsHistory20th centuryBermuda IslandsHistoryAutonomy and independence movementsBermuda IslandsPolitics and government20th centuryBlack powerHistoryBlacksCivil rightsHistoryCivil rights movementsHistoryYouth movementsHistoryPolitical activistsDecolonizationHistory323.097299Swan Quito1025088MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910812381503321Black power in Bermuda4196551UNINA
