Description
The Black Revolution on Campus by Martha Biondi is a groundbreaking account of an extraordinary chapter in the black freedom struggle. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, hundreds of protests were organized by Black students, sparking a period of crackdown, negotiation, and reform that transformed college life. At stake was the very mission of higher education, as Black students demanded that public universities serve their communities, private universities rethink their mission, and black colleges embrace self-determination. The student movement also played a crucial role in shaping scholarly knowledge, with victories in establishing Black Studies ultimately producing important intellectual innovations that have had a lasting impact on academic research and university curricula. This book makes a major contribution to the current debate on Ethnic Studies, access to higher education, and opportunity for all, shedding light on a pivotal moment in American history.
