During the 1960s in the heartlands of America-a region of farmland,
conservative politics, and traditional family values-students at
Indiana University were transformed by their realization that the
personal was the political. Taking to the streets, they made their
voices heard on issues from local matters, such as dorm curfews and
self-governance, to national issues of racism, sexism, and the
Vietnam War. In this grassroots view of student activism, Mary Ann
Wynkoop documents how students became antiwar protestors, civil
rights activists, members of the counterculture, and feminists who
shaped a protest movement that changed the heart of Middle America
and redefined higher education, politics, and cultural values.
Based on research in primary sources, interviews, and FBI files,
Dissent in the Heartland reveals the Midwestern pulse of the 1960s
beating firmly, far from the elite schools and urban centers of the
East and West. This revised edition includes a new introduction and
epilogue that document how deeply students were transformed by
their time at IU, evidenced by their continued activism and deep
impact on the political, civil, and social landscapes of their
communities and country.
