"The Civil Rights Movement" is a collection of the best scholarship
on one of America's most important social movements. Editor Jack
Davis expands the usual historical boundaries of the Civil Rights
Movement as he follows it from pre-World War II activism to the
affirmative action initiatives begun in the 1960s. These essays
reveal the grassroots character of the movement by exploring its
continuity, local nature, and decentralized and diverse leadership.
Through this broader scope, students learn about women's activism,
white liberals and moderates, local initiatives, environmental
racism, and black political empowerment.
Twelve essays are arranged chronologically and topically, each
with supporting primary documents, a detailed timeline, and further
reading lists. This collection provides an ideal source for
teaching Civil Rights with a fresh perspective.
