Examines the black fundamentalist nationalism of Louis Farrakhan & the possible consequences of his movement's collaboration with white supremacists, in particular, Lyndon LaRouche. Focus is on commonalities in the ideologies of each group. The development of core themes of black nationalism (racial separatism, conservative economics, anticommunism) in the ideas of Martin Delany, Marcus Garvey, & W. E. B. Du Bois & their reflection in the Nation of Islam are discussed. It is shown how Elijah Muhammad pursued these goals by cultivating relationships with conservative politicians & white supremacist groups sharing similarly reactionary views. The reflection of these views & goals by Louis Farrakhan in his relationship with LaRouche is analyzed. T. Arnold

Heald reviews 'Black Hamlet' by Wulf Sachs.

The status inconsistency literature suggests that liberal or extreme att's, preference for change in the distribution of power, & attempts to change the soc order may be characteristic of the following: (1) status inconsistents; (2) under-rewarded status inconsistents; & (3) low-ethnic status inconsistents. Thus, the rationale of status inconsistency theory was thought useful in accounting for militancy & black identification among returning veterans who are confronted with volatile black ghettos. The objective measures of these status characteristics for a sample of 199 black veterans were examined & no statistically signif relationship was found with the dependent variables, militancy & black identification. Perceptions of inconsistency were found to be related, though diff'ially, to militancy & black identification. The latter was viewed as a coping response to low-ethnic inconsistency which allowed the black veteran to be 'perceptually upwardly mobile,' thereby achieving a state of perceptual status consistency. For Ls veterans, it appeared that black identification may create a state of 'high-ethnic, under rewarded' inconsistency, & may contribute to the veteran's dissatisfaction with the status quo & his support for those advocating radical soc change.
