Review of The Crisis of the Negro Intellectual by Harold Cruse. JB’s work referenced briefly where he described Cruse’s ‘sometimes embarrassingly personal tirade against better known figures on recent black cultural scene — Lorraine Hansberry, James Baldwin, Paul Robeson, Kenneth Clark -for not having thought their arguments through and for not (one suspects) having taken seriously enough the analysis, the warnings, and the recommendations of one H. Cruse.’
