The Free Speech Movement by Robert Cohen
An examination of Berkeley's celebrated Free Speech Movement (FSM) of 1964. Drawing from the experiences of many movement veterans, this collection of scholarly articles and personal memoirs illuminates one of the most important events in the recent history of American higher education.
"A superb book" - Todd Gitlin, author of Media Unlimited and The Sixties: Years of Hope, Days of Rage "This book gets the Free Speech Movement and its significance exactly right - from the civil rights origins to refusing to idealize the moment at the expense of what came later. And no two better editors could be doing it." - Michael Rogin, author of Ronald Reagan, The Movie, And Other Episodes in Political Demonology
