Civil rights movements : past and present

O'Neal, Michael, 1949- (editor.).

Summary: This new, two-volume set explores the ways in which civil rights have been given, cemented, overturned, or left unrecognized, from the first uprisings to present-day 2020. In 2014, as the nation celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of the March on Washington, civil rights groups such as Black Lives Matter were organizing. Though our societal rhetoric has shifted, the struggle remains the same. In 362 alphabetically arranged essays, ranging in length from 200 to 2,700 words, Civil Rights Movements: Past & Present examines a wide range of civil rights issues in all their manifestations. This edition not only provides 64 new articles but also includes hundreds of updates to older articles that include new biographical resources. Not just focusing on the history of African American civil rights in the United States, this new edition has been expanded to include other civil rights movements -- the women's movement, the LGBT movement, the Chicano Movement, the American Indian Movement, and the disability rights movement -- while still maintaining a comprehensive overview of African American civil rights. The entries are arranged alphabetically and run from "Abolition" to "Zoning." -- Provided by publisher.
