"Rebellion in Black and White" offers a panoramic view of southern
student activism in the 1960s. Original scholarly essays
demonstrate how southern students promoted desegregation, racial
equality, free speech, academic freedom, world peace, gender
equity, sexual liberation, Black Power, and the personal freedoms
associated with the counterculture of the decade. Most accounts of
the 1960s student movement and the New Left have been
northern-centered, focusing on rebellions at the University of
California, Berkeley, Columbia University, and others. And yet,
students at southern colleges and universities also organized and
acted to change race and gender relations and to end the Vietnam
War. Southern students took longer to rebel due to the south's
legacy of segregation, its military tradition, and its Bible Belt
convictions, but their efforts were just as effective as those in
the north. "Rebellion in Black and White" sheds light on higher
education, students, culture, and politics of the American south.
It is edited by Robert Cohen and David J. Snyder, the book features
the work of both seasoned historians and a new generation of
scholars offering fresh perspectives on the civil rights movement
and many others. Contributors: Dan T. Carter, David T. Farber,
