From Sit-Ins to SNCC Summary

From Sit-Ins to SNCC: The Student Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s by Iwan Morgan

The contributors provide provocative analyses of such topics as the dynamics of grassroots student civil rights activism, the organizational and cultural changes within SNCC, the impact of the sit-ins on the white South, the evolution of black nationalist ideology within the student movement, works of fiction written by movement activists, and the changing international outlook of student-organized civil rights movements.

From Sit-Ins to SNCC Reviews

Central to the collection's theme is the idea that [SNCC] was diffuse with different visions, and not a hierarchy. The approach was local, and the results hinged on the locality. . . . Adds much to the discussion of the nonviolent resistance movement. -Choice

Provides fresh and original insights into the student protest movement of the 1960s. A must for anyone interested in the history of the SNCC or the civil rights struggle. -Kevern Verney, Edge Hill University
