In Peace and Freedom, Simon Hall explores two linked themes: the civil rights movement's response to the war in Vietnam on the one hand and, on the other, the relationship between the black groups that opposed the war and the mainstream peace movement. Based on comprehensive archival research, the book weaves together local and national stories to offer an illuminating and judicious chronicle of these movements, demonstrating how their increasingly radicalized components both found common cause and provoked mutual antipathies. Peace and Freedom shows how and why the civil rights movement responded to the war in differing ways-explaining black militants' hostility toward the war while also providing a sympathetic treatment of those organizations and leaders reluctant to take a stand. And, while Black Power, counter culturalism, and left-wing factionalism all made interracial coalition-building more difficult, the book argues that it was the peace movement's reluctance to link the struggle to end the war with the fight against racism at home that ultimately prevented the two movements from cooperating more fully. Considering the historical relationship between the civil rights movement and foreign policy, Hall also offers an in-depth look at the history of black America's links with the American left and with pacifism. With its keen insights into one of the most controversial decades in American history, Peace and Freedom recaptures the immediacy and importance of the time.Politics and culture in modern America.African AmericansCivil rightsHistory20th centuryCivil rights movementsUnited StatesHistory20th centuryAfrican AmericansPolitics and government20th centuryVietnam War, 1961-1975Protest movementsPeace movementsUnited StatesHistory20th centuryUnited StatesRace relationsUnited StatesSocial conditions1960-1980United StatesPolitics and government1963-1969Electronic books.African AmericansCivil rightsHistoryCivil rights movementsHistoryAfrican AmericansPolitics and governmentVietnam War, 1961-1975Protest movements.Peace movementsHistory959.704/3/08996073Hall Simon1976-952915MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910457841203321Peace and freedom2490424UNINA
