This book offers an acessible and informative introduction to the black civil right movement in America from emancipation to Rodney King and the LA race riots. Verney provides a concise overview of the period focussing on key individuals and leaders; black political movements; crucial legal and political developments; and the portrayal of African Americans in popular culture. By placing the civil rights movement in the wider context of American history, Verney is able to highlight key turning points and developments, their causes and consequences. Verney writes clearly and authoritatively on the subject and makes use of the latest scholarship in African American history. This text will provide an invaluable introduction to the subject for both the undergraduate and the casual reader. It will also be a valuable aid to further education students covering this subject for the first time.
