Traces the history & political potential of African-American populism. Beginning with the Grange & the National Colored Farmers Alliance in the 1880s, & culminating in the 1890s, the rising strength of African-American agrarian protest required that whites attempt to form an alliance with them. The movement collapsed, however, with the cooptation of the populist agenda by the Democratic Party in 1896. Another strain of populism can be identified in the black church, where democracy, economic cooperation, & community development have also been important themes. Using the example of St. Philip's Church in New York City, it is shown that northern populist-style activism remained in the ministry rather than in traditional politics. African-American populism rekindled during the Civil Rights movement, but agrarian issues generally faded as urban problems took center stage in African-American politics, the interracial unity obtained in the 1890s never resurfaced.
