Recenzii
George Lewis unravels the complex and intricate webs that were part and parcel of what is referred to as massive resistance. His scholarly approach, impressive organization of the material, and the overally quality and clarity of his narrative collectively contribute to Massive Resistance being an important contribution to the field of American studies... (An) important and much needed contribution to historical scholarship on an important and perhaps neglected side of the civil rights era. If one were to choose one book on this particular subject, I believe this volume should be the one.
"In only 187 pages of text, George Lewis's excellent study of massive resistance synthesizes recent historiography in a respectful, nuanced, and tightly argued corrective to Numan V. Bartley's monumental The Rise of Massive Resistance: Race and Politics in the South during the 1950's (1969) that also draws on primary research."
"George Lewis has delivered an excellent new history of white opposition to the civil rights movement ... Massive Resistance is a versatile book: specialists will find the arguments persuasive, and the text is lively enough for introductory history students."
