Freedom Summer

Autor Doug McAdam
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 noi 1990
In June 1964, over 1,000 volunteers - most of them white, northern college students - arrived in Mississippi to campaign for black enfranchisement and teach at `freedom schools' as part of the Freedom Summer campaign organized by the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee. Within 10 days, three were murdered; by summer's end, another had died and hundreds more had endured bombings, beatings, and arrests. This is the first book to gauge the impact of Freedom Summer on the project volunteers and the period we now call the `turbulent 60s'.

Recenzii

`A major contribution.' Library Journal
`Freedom Summer is an extremely interesting, readable account of the summer of 1964. It is clearly written, detailed, and well documented; enlivened by the words of those who experienced that summer.' Tampa Tribune Times
`What sets Freedom Summer apart from other historical literature on the period is its contemporary appeal. The book doesn't end in 1964. Its major focus is on volunteers today, their way of life, political activity and views on marriage, careers and the `80s.' San Francisco Chronicle
