As one reader notes, gosse 'has accomplished something difficult and rare, if not altogether unique, in providing a studied and moving account of the full array of protest movements - from civil rights and Black Power, to student and antiwar protest, to women's and gay liberation, to Native American, Asian American, and Puerto Rican activism - that defined the American sixties as an era of powerfully transformative rebellions...His is a 'big-tent' view that shows just how rich and varied 1960's protest was.' In contrast to most other accounts of this subject, the SDS and white male radicals are taken out of the center of the story and placed more toward its margins. A prestigious project from a highly respected historian, The New Left in the United States, 1955-1975 will be a must-read for anyone interested in American politics of the postwar era. 606 $aRadicalism$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aNew Left$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aSocial movements$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aUnited States$xHistory$y1945- 615 0$aRadicalism$xHistory 615 0$aNew Left$xHistory 615 0$aSocial movements$xHistory 676 $a303.48/4/097309045 700 $aGosse$b Van$01609802 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910817650603321 996 $aRethinking the New Left$93945164 997 $aUNINA
