Gender and the Civil Rights Movement by Peter J Ling
A collection of essays that analyse the people, the protests and the incidents of the civil rights movement through the lens of gender. More than just a study of women, the book examines the ways in which assigned sexual roles and values shaped the strategy, tactics and ideology of the movement.
"The most interesting field for new research on the civil rights movement is in the area of genderThis book breaks new ground by moving beyond a discussion of the contributions of individual women and men and covers the gendered basis of internal civil rights politics." -- Steven Lawson * author of Civil Rights Crossroads: Nation, Community, and the Black Freedom Struggle *
"These provocative, wide-ranging analyses offer refreshing perspectives on the persistently troubling question of the role of gender in American racial politics and bring contemporary debates on the relationship between sex and race into much-needed historical perspective." -- Allison Graham * author of Framing the South: Hollywood, Television, and Race During the Civil Rights Struggle *
