Civilities and Civil Rights

Civilities and Civil Rights by William H Chafe

Reveals how whites in Greensboro used the traditional Southern concept of civility as a means of keeping Black protest in check and how Black activists continually devised new ways of asserting their quest for freedom.

Thoughtful, well written, and thoroughly researched, it is a work of disciplined, committed scholarship that is likely to inspire imitation...It represents the sort of scholarly advocacy that honors the historian's calling. * The New Republic *
A finely wrought narrative, but much more * a troubling commentary on conflict, consensus, paternalism, and gentility, which carries far beyond Greensboro....There is a boldness in this book which is rare in the profession....It makes us think beyond its boundaries.Howard Zinn, The Yale Review *
Social history at its best, portraying the events that led up to the sit-ins and the disappointments that came after, and arguing that these confrontations were vital for any real change. * The New York Times Book Review *
Undoubtedly the best case study on the Civil Rights movement. * Mark Kornbluh, Washington University *

Eric Chafe is a Professor of composition at Brandeis University
