Browne decided to create The Review of Black Political Economy in order to create "an hospitable arena in which black people could explore ideas as to how they might bring about effective and substantial improvement in their collective economic position." It became a platform for people to publish articles and commentaries on the conditions of black people in the United States from an economic and sociological standpoint. Initially the Review was a product of the Black Economic Research Center (BERC) which Robert Browne founded and ran until 1976. After that, ownership was transferred to the National Economic Association. This quarterly journal, which is still in print, has published many notable Black thinkers and political figures including, James Forman, James Boggs, and Donald J. Harris, father of VP Kamala Harris. Very good condition overall.
