Racial minority movements split into entrists, socialists, and nationalists that overlapped

Evidence

Three broad political currents can be recognized within the racial minority movements of this period.” These were electoral/institutional entrism, socialism, and nationalism. Each recognized the incompleteness of the civil rights reforms. While distinct from one another both in their understandings of race and in their practical activities, the entrists, socialists, and nationalists were not diametrically opposed: They overlapped and drew upon each other’s orientations. They had, after all, emerged from roughly similar movement experiences. Each tendency embodied and enacted a particular understanding of race, one of the three theoretical sites for entrism. — Michael Omi, Howard Winant, Racial Formation in the United States, 170
