The Civil Rights movement of the 1960s profoundly changed American life, and it continues to capture the imagination of readers today. In Civil Rights: The 1960s Freedom Struggle, Revised Edition, Rhoda Lois Blumberg expands her acclaimed 1984 volume to provide and accessible overview of the movement from a sociological perspective.
Incorporating new historical data, Blumberg surveys the modern civil rights movement in its entirety, from its origins and first accomplishments to success, crisis, and decline. The result is a fresh version of what Choice called an "especially fine introduction" to an essential American social movement.
