For a succinct but scathing critique of Randolph’s legacy, see the essay by Manning Marable, “A. Philip Randolph & the Foundations of Black American Socialism,” Radical America 14, no. 2 (1980): 6–32. As the studies under review in this essay suggest and the editors of this volume note, most Randolph and BSCP studies provide a more positive assessment of Randolph’s life as a labor, civil, and human rights activist than Marable allowed.
