Preferred term

the crisis of the negro intellectual  

Definition

  • The Crisis of the Negro Intellectual is Harold Cruse's exploration of what black intellectuals from the mid 1940s up until the mid 1960s were not doing, followed by what he thought they ideally should be doing. As Cruse was on a mission to analyze and critique the realm of historical and contemporary black intellectual leadership, virtually every intellectual, activist, scholar, and writer was subject to his pen.
