In the wake of the Kennedy era, a new kind of ethnic hero emerged within AfricanAmerican popular culture. 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 AfricanAmerican 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 AfricanAmerican icons of the 1960s and '70s have changed the course of American history. . . . An indepth, eventempered analysis. . . . Van Deburg's witty, lively and always grounded style entertains while it instructs.'Publishers Weekly
