New Releases by Manning Marable

"Twayne''s twentieth-century American biography series." A biography tracing the development of Du Bois as an American black intellectual who engendered a new understanding of racial issues on the part of the American public.

Insider view of black activist movement: accomplishments, internal conflicts, deaths, King''s appearance and successes.

This issue, which marks the beginning of our fifth year, combines a number of articles about the good times and growing pains of a South reaching national maturity. It seems appropriate for us to answer, at this time, some of our readers'' questions about who we re and what Southern Exposure represents. Early observers thought we''d never make it this far with a regional journal so critical of the powers that be and so preoccupied with the lesser known people, with the struggles and heritage of a culture considered bankrupt by sophisticated America. But, like the South, we have attained a new stability, partly from the spin-off of the media search for Jimmy Carter''s South (they have yet to find it) and partly from our appeal to the same hunger for connections to a past, a place, a people, that made Roots a meaningful event for so many.
