The history of America's successes and failures in the battles for
civil rights, from the Revolutionary period to today. Despite
America's commitment to civil rights from the earliest days of
nationhood, examples of injustices against minorities stain many
pages of U.S. history. The battle for racial, ethnic, and gender
fairness remains unfinished. This comprehensive book traces the
history of legal efforts to achieve civil rights for all Americans,
beginning with the years leading up to the Revolution and
continuing to our own times. The historical adventure Alexander
Tsesis recounts is filled with fascinating events, with real change
and disappointing compromise, and with courageous individuals and
organizations committed to ending injustice. Viewing the evolution
of civil rights through the lens of legal history, Tsesis considers
laws that have restricted civil rights (such as Jim Crow
regulations and prohibitions against intermarriage) and laws that
have expanded rights (including antisegregation legislation and
other legal advances of the civil rights era). He focuses
particular attention on the African American fight for civil rights
but also discusses the struggles of women, gays and lesbians,
Japanese Americans, Latinos, Native Americans, and Jews. He
concludes by assessing the current state of civil rights in the
United States and exploring likely future expansions of civil
rights.
