"As a leader of the Southern Regional Council in the early
1960s, and later as executive director of the Field Foundation,
Leslie Dunbar's advocacy and behind-the-scenes organizing made him
one of the most significant (but least recognized) people in the
civil rights movement. His essays and speeches often helped set the
agenda. They also continue to offer a prophetic voice in our
struggle to create a more humane and fully integrated America. The
Shame of Southern Politics gathers for the first time fourteen of
Dunbar's essays and speeches on the courage and values of the
southern civil rights movement. Dunbar's selected writings, ranging
from the classic 1961 essay "The Annealing of the South" to a
post-September 11th meditation, give eloquent voice to the best of
America's liberal tradition. A new essay entitled "1968" offers
Dunbar's unique take on that transformational year. Dan T. Carter,
professor of history at the University of South Carolina and
himself a distinguished interpreter of the South, sets the scene in
a masterful introduction that details the contributions of this
quiet yet influential man. Leslie Dunbar is the author and editor
of A Republic of Equals, Minority Report, The Common Interest, and
Reclaiming Liberalism. He lives in Washington, D.C.
