- Synopsis
- Just as in other volumes in the Debating Twentieth-Century America series, this volume contains two essays demonstrating contrasting historical perspectives on the same phenomenon, in this case the Civil Rights movement. Lawson (History, Rutgers, State U. of New Jersey) represents the "great men" approach, looking at the role of national leaders in advancing civil rights, while Payne (African American studies and History, Duke U.) concentrates more on the "view from the trenches." Each essay is accompanied by a selection of primary documents in support of the views presented.
