Responding to the demands of African American activists that the United States go beyond civil rights to secure economic justice, Moynihan thought his analysis of black families highlighted socioeconomic inequality. However, the report's central argument that poor families headed by single mothers inhibited African American progress touched off a heated controversy. The long-running dispute over Moynihan's conclusions changed how Americans talk about race, the family, and poverty. Fifty years after its publication, the Moynihan Report remains a touchstone in contemporary racial politics, cited by President Barack Obama and Congressman Paul Ryan among others. Beyond Civil Rights offers the definitive history of the Moynihan Report controversy. Focusing on competing interpretations of the report from the mid-1960's to the late 1970's, Geary demonstrates its significance for liberals, conservatives, neoconservatives, civil rights leaders, Black Power activists, and feminists. He also illustrates the pitfalls of discussing racial inequality primarily in terms of family structure. Beyond Civil Rights captures a watershed moment in American history that reveals the roots of current political divisions and the stakes of a public debate that has extended for decades. 410 0$aPolitics and Culture in Modern America 606 $aAfrican American poor families$xGovernment policy$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aAfrican American poor families$xSocial conditions$y20th century 606 $aCivil rights movements$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aUnited States$xSocial conditions$y20th century 607 $aUnited States$xEconomic conditions$y20th century 607 $aUnited States$xRace relations$xHistory$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAfrican American poor families$xGovernment policy$xHistory 615 0$aAfrican American poor families$xSocial conditions 615 0$aCivil rights movements$xHistory 676 $a305.896/073 700 $aGeary$b Daniel$01028436 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460909203321 996 $aBeyond civil rights$92488185 997 $aUNINA
