In student-led movements, women, minorities, immigrants, and indigenous people demanded that universities adapt to better serve the increasingly heterogeneous public and student bodies. The success of these movements had a profound impact on the intellectual landscape of the twentieth century: out of these efforts were born ethnic studies, women's studies, and American studies. In We Demand, Roderick A. Ferguson demonstrates that less than fifty years since this pivotal shift in the academy, the university is moving away from "the people" in all their diversity. Today the university is refortifying its commitment to the defense of the status quo off campus and the regulation of students, faculty, and staff on campus. The progressive forms of knowledge that the student-led movements demanded and helped to produce are being attacked on every front. Not only is this a reactionary move against the social advances since the '60s and '70s-it is part of the larger threat of anti-intellectualism in the United States. 606 $aStudent movements$zUnited States 606 $aMinorities$xEducation (Higher)$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aKent State Shootings, Kent, Ohio, 1970 606 $aPublic universities and colleges$xCurricula$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aUniversities and colleges$xCurricula$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aEducational equalization$zUnited States$xHistory 610 $a20th century protest. 610 $aamerican studies. 610 $acampus activism. 610 $acollege student. 610 $aethnic studies. 610 $ahuman rights advocate. 610 $aimmigration. 610 $aindigenous people. 610 $aintellectual landscape. 610 $apoly sci student. 610 $asocial movement. 610 $astudent body leader. 610 $asuccessful social movements. 610 $awomens rights. 610 $awomens studies. 615 0$aStudent movements 615 0$aMinorities$xEducation (Higher)$xHistory. 615 0$aKent State Shootings, Kent, Ohio, 1970. 615 0$aPublic universities and colleges$xCurricula$xHistory. 615 0$aUniversities and colleges$xCurricula$xHistory. 615 0$aEducational equalization$xHistory. 676 $a977.4/34043 700 $aFerguson$b Roderick A.$0713677 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792876703321 996 $aWe demand$93718269 997 $aUNINA
