Leading scholars reassess the origins and trajectory of the
American civil rights movement. Essays highlight the importance of
black activism in the 1930s and 1940s and show how white liberals
misunderstood the movement. Comparisons with Britain and South
Africa reveal how movement leaders secured sympathetic responses at
home and abroad and how nonviolence characterised the movement. The
essays also challenge traditional concepts of 'race' and 'racial
equality', consider the impact of the struggle on participants and
trace black political thought since the 1960s.
