Civil Rights, the 1960s Freedom Struggle
In this book Blumberg offers an overview of the struggle from a sociological perspective. Praised in 1984 as an "especially fine introduction" to the movement, her volume now has been expanded to incorporate the most recent scholarship and historical data. Blumberg surveys the modern civil rights movement in its entirety, from its origins and first accomplishements, to success, crisis, and decline. She first provides background on the history of African-American protest, from slavery through the first half of the twentieth century. She then covers the growth of the modern civil rights movement, vividly recounting the struggle for voting rights, the transition to black power, white backlash, and other topics.
