Rumor, Repression, and Racial Politics

How the Harassment of Black Elected Officials Shaped Post-Civil Rights America

Beschreibung

Historians have exhaustively documented how African Americans gained access to electoral politics in the mid-1960s, but few have scrutinized what happened next, and the small body of work that does consider the aftermath of the civil rights movement is almost entirely limited to the Black Power era. George Derek Musgrove pushes much further, examining black elected officials' allegations of state and news media repression to gain new insight into the role of race in US politics between 1965 and 1995.
