Uniquely suited to the times, burgeoning pop icons projected the values and beliefs of the Civil Rights and Black Power movements, and reflected both the possibility and the actuality of a rapidly changing American landscape. In Black Camelot, William Van Deburg examines the dynamic rise of these new black champions, the social and historical contexts in which they flourished, and their powerful impact on the African-American community. "Van Deburg manages the enviable feat of writing with flair within a standardized academic framework, covering politics, social issues and entertainment with equal aplomb."-Jonathan Pearl, Jazz Times "[A] fascinating, thorough account of how African-American icons of the 1960's and '70's have changed the course of American history. . . . An in-depth, even-tempered analysis. . . . Van Deburg's witty, lively and always grounded style entertains while it instructs."-Publishers Weekly 606 $aAfrican Americans$xSocial life and customs 606 $aHeroes$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPopular culture$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aAfrican Americans$xRace identity 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xSocial life and customs. 615 0$aHeroes$xHistory 615 0$aPopular culture$xHistory 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xRace identity. 676 $a973/.0496073 700 $aVan Deburg$b William L$0967163 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455332203321 996 $aBlack Camelot$92195637 997 $aUNINA
