Blogs Liberty and Power NYAge.Net Added to Blog Roll
Aug 1, 2004NYAge.Net Added to Blog Roll
NYAge.net has been added to the Liberty and Power blog roll. The mastermind of the site is historian Hugh Pearson, who has written some of the most exciting work in black history during the last decade.
He made his mark with In the Shadow of the Panther, a brutally honest and absorbing account of the rise and fall of Huey Newton and the Black Panthers.
He followed up with Under the Knife, a study of a black doctor in the South during the Jim Crow era who rose to wealth and, most controversially, performed illegal abortions on both whites and blacks.
I highly recommend Hugh's work. While the members of Liberty and Power might disagree with him on some issues, they will always find his observations on current and past events to be thought provoking and original.
