Black Power on Campus: The University of Illinois, 1965–75. By Joy Ann Williamson. (Ur-bana: University of Illinois Press, 2003. xiv, 192 pp. $34.95, ISBN 0-252-02829-5.)
Challenging the popular image of the black power movement as a "negative shift away from Civil Rights" and advancing the call for a new scholarship called black power studies, the historian Peniel Joseph observed in a recent issue of Black Scholar, "the Black Power era represented a powerful, political movement that redefined and deepened American democracy" ("Introduction to Black Power Studies: A New Scholarship," Black Scholar, Fall–Winter 2001, p. 1).	1

In a finely tuned and carefully crafted narrative, Williamson explores the evolution of black consciousness on predominantly white American campuses during the critical period between the mid-1960s and mid-1970s. Using the experience of black students at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign as a case study, she offers the reader insight into similar movements across the country.	. . .
