Library Journal
Though the original was published in 1961, this third edition updates a second 1973 release by adding a new postscript by Lincoln and a new foreword by Professor Aminah B. McCloud. Together they bring the Black Muslim movement into its current perspective. Described as ``very well written'' by LJ 's reviewer ( LJ 4/15/61) and ``Unsurpassed as a sociological study'' by the New York Times , this is a solid title for all libraries.
