Article: Youth on fire: distinctive books show how the struggle for rights and recognition rests on new generations.(The Black Panther Intercommunal News Service, 1967-1980; Radicalizing the Ebony Tower: Black Colleges and the Black Freedom Struggle in Mississippi; Somebody Scream!: Rap Music's Rise to Prominence in the Aftershock of Black Power)(Book review)

The 40th anniversaries this year of the death of Martin Luther King Jr., of the urban riots in reaction to that event and of the death of Bobby Kennedy bring many opportunities to look back on the turbulent events of 1968. It is no surprise that many new books on related events have appeared on publishers' lists. Among offerings from university and commercial presses are these fascinating and well-done books that focus on how young people across several decades struggled to have a voice in the quest for equality and justice. Together or separately, they give new perspective on history.
