Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Howard Zinn tells the story of one of the most important political groups in American history. SNCC: The New Abolitionists influenced a generation of activists struggling for civil rights and seeking to learn from the successes and failures of those who built the fantastically influential Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. It is considered an indispensable study of the organization, of the 1960s, and of the process of social change. Includes a new introduction by the author. Review:"[W]eaves first-person experience, reportage, historical analysis, biography, and polemics into a seamless and indispensable history of the civil rights movement from the point of view of one who helped inspire some of its leaders." John Giuffo, Village Voice Synopsis:Howard Zinn tells the story of one of the most important political groups in American history. About the AuthorHoward Zinn is professor emeritus at Boston University. He is the author of the classic A People's History of the United States.
