Civil Rights Movement: Wiley Blackwell Readers in American Social and Cultural History

Autor JE Davis
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 13 aug 2000
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.

Notă biografică

The author is a retired technologist / geophysical surveyor with interests in earth science, remote sensing and ancient history. His initial aim was to scientifically assess major biblical events which underpin thousands of years of Israel and Middle Eastern history. The author undertook a familiarisation trip to Egypt, Greece, Turkey, Israel and Jordan as part of the process, but the focus turned dramatically from history to prophecy after some inspirational episodes on return. The author has tertiary qualifications in Engineering and Applied Science.

Descriere
