520    "This study reveals the previously hidden impact of Ebony 
       magazine as a major producer and disseminator of popular 
       black history during the second half of the twentieth 
       century. Far from dismissing Ebony as a consumer magazine 
       with limited political or educational importance, E. James
       West highlights the value editors, readers, and 
       advertisers placed upon Ebony's role as a "history book." 
       Benefiting from unprecedented access to new archives at 
       Chicago State and Emory University, West also offers the 
       first substantive biographical account of the writing and 
       philosophy of Lerone Bennett Jr., who used his position at
       Ebony to emerge as one of the twentieth century's most 
       influential popular black historians. Focusing on Lerone 
       Bennett's role within Johnson Publishing, and assessing 
       Ebony's broader historical coverage, this book uses the 
       magazine as a window into the transition of black history 
       from the margins to the center of American cultural, 
       historical, and political representation. As an important 
       cultural outlet with millions of readers, Ebony played a 
       powerful role in reshaping public representations of 
       African American history. Directed by the efforts of 
       Bennett, the magazine produced militant depictions of 
       black history and connected activism in the present to a 
       longstanding history of radical black protest. However, as
       a black consumer magazine it also helped to legitimize and
       facilitate corporate mediation of black history, and to 
       frame and limit discussions of African American history, 
       memory, and identity"--|cProvided by publisher.
