In the STUDIES IN CONTEMPORARY HISTORY series, a concise history of the civil rights movement in America, aimed at undergraduate and A level students. Chronicles the growth of the mass movement which brought down the system of racial segregation in America and assesses its impact on other minority groups' struggles for equal rights.
How did a relatively powerless minority bring down the whole system of racial segregation in America within a single generation? The civil rights movement led to the dismantlement of institutionalised racism and transformed American society. William Riches chronicles the growth of the mass movement from its origins in less well documented battles for civil liberties, through to its eventual success with the destruction of a de jure segregated society.
