Thesis (Ph.D.)--Columbia University, 2009.

This dissertation examines the brief lives of the scores of black nationalist, independent primary, secondary and post-secondary schools that emerged in urban areas across the U.S. during the late 1960s and early 1970s. The small, impoverished institutions demonstrated the tremendous inventiveness and optimism that initially suffused the black power movement. Founded and run by young, Pan Africanist intellectuals and activists, the schools reflected a desire to create autonomous black institutions dedicated to achieving for African-American communities the genuine self-determination that the integrationist civil rights movement had failed to provide. The schools represented a critical part of a broader effort to "build the new society within the old"---to construct infrastructure for an alternative black nation within the boundaries of the U.S. Influenced by Third World theorists and anticolonial movements, organizers of the schools sought to launch a cultural revolution in black America based on notions of African tradition and identity. They saw formal education not merely as an opportunity to transmit academic skills or prepare black children to navigate a racist society, but as a means of creating a vanguard of young activists devoted to struggling for black political sovereignty throughout the world. The schools and their various cultural projects provided some of the richest examples of the creativity and intellectual ebullience of the black nationalist resurgence of the 1960s. However, they also reveal the deeply elitist, authoritarian, sexist and homophobic roots of black power. Examining the intellectual and social history of black independent schools helps us understand how the radical and progressive elements of the "new nationalism" yielded to more fundamentalist and bourgeois ideologies by the 1970s, fueling the conservative nationalism that profoundly influenced black political culture in the last quarter of the 20th century.
