Joy Ann Williamson. Black Power on Campus: The University of Illinois 1965–75. Urbana and Chicago: University of Illinois Press. 2003. Pp. xii, 192. $34.95.

Joy Ann Williamson tells the story of the black student movement of the 1960s at the University of Illinois. Her primary focus is the impact of that movement on the university, and the relation of students, and their ideas, to educational reform. Williamson also presents the complexity of student activism in a period of protest that embodied local and national issues. Touching on the complications of class and gender within the movement, the author deals directly with the problems, and pain, students encountered in defining "Blackness." The role of students in the black power movement deserves more study, and this work sets a good example. With an evenhanded discussion of the contradictions within the movement, Williamson argues that the students, through the Black Student Association (BSA), were successful in changing the university's culture and structure.
