preservation access 1 online resource (xxi, 285 p.) : ill. This book ... on postwar America ... looks at civil rights and civil liberties in tandem and does so over the past fifty years. It merges two historical approaches - of looking at America from the view of those in the highest seats of power and from the perspectives of those too often denied political and economic access. It shows that the civil rights movement was not just a southern movement but spanned the nation; not just a movement for African Americans but waged by other people of color, including Latinos and Native Americans as well as women of all races; and not just a struggle that began in the mid-1950s and ended in the mid-1960s. It was more varies ... more grassroots, and more broad than many other studies of the postwar period have shown.-Pref. The emergence of a new civil rights movement -- The Cold War and the decline of dissent -- A mass movement for civil rights -- Is this America? : civil rights and the nation -- Radical movements and the backlash against civil rights -- The rise of dissent -- New social movements and post-civil rights politics -- A new politics of dissent and privacy rights.
