Jenny Fran Davis: My Novel’s Clique: Jenny Fran Davis’s Bookshelf for 'Dykette' (0 comment)
I read a wide range of literature, from “chick lit” to heady nonfiction, and when I love a book, I begin to think of it as a friend. It also inspires me in one way or another: its tone, its sensibility, its cadence, its structure, or its voice....

Publisher Comments

How did the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee break open the caste system in the American South between 1960 and 1965? In this innovative study, Wesley Hogan explores what SNCC accomplished and, more important, how it fostered significant social change in such a short time. She offers new insights into the internal dynamics of SNCC as well as the workings of the larger civil rights and Black Power movement of which it was a part.

As Hogan chronicles, the members of SNCC created some of the civil rights movement's boldest experiments in freedom, including the sit-ins of 1960, the rejuvenated Freedom Rides of 1961, and grassroots democracy projects in Georgia and Mississippi. She highlights several key players—including Charles Sherrod, Bob Moses, and Fannie Lou Hamer—as innovators of grassroots activism and democratic practice.

Breaking new ground, Hogan shows how SNCC laid the foundation for the emergence of the New Left and created new definitions of political leadership during the civil rights and Vietnam eras. She traces the ways other social movements—such as Black Power, women's liberation, and the antiwar movement—adapted practices developed within SNCC to apply to their particular causes. Many Minds, One Heart ultimately reframes the movement and asks us to look anew at where America stands on justice and equality today.

Review

"An engaging and engrossing narrative style . . . historians will . . . be sated by the rich details, strong analysis, and wide array of sources in the notes. . . . Provides us with another needed perspective on SNCC, helping to illuminate the inner workings and true legacies of this important organization."

— Register of the Kentucky Historical Society

Review

"A complex, bold, stereotype-breaking analysis."

— Timothy B. Tyson, Duke University, author of Radio Free Dixie: Robert F. Williams and the Roots of Black Power

Review

"[A] Brilliant and carefully researched work. . . . Magnificent. . . . Essential."

— CHOICE

Review

"A finely researched, brilliant appraisal of the legendary civil rights organization's philosophical underpinnings, tactics and strategies, organizational structure, influences on the emergence of the New Left, struggles aimed at dismantling white supremacy across the South and its challenges to remain effective during the latter years of the turbulent sixties."

--Georgia Historical Quarterly "Hogan's great storytelling ability makes this book well worth reading. . . . Hogan captures the essence and underlying spirit that propelled a movement and led many to risk their lives in the fight for freedom."

— Journal of African American History "An engaging and engrossing narrative style . . . historians will . . . be sated by the rich details, strong analysis, and wide array of sources in the notes. . . . Provides us with another needed perspective on SNCC, helping to illuminate the inner workings and true legacies of this important organization."

— Register of the Kentucky Historical Society "A complex, bold, stereotype-breaking analysis."

— Timothy B. Tyson, Duke University, author of Radio Free Dixie: Robert F. Williams and the Roots of Black Power "[A] Brilliant and carefully researched work. . . . Magnificent. . . . Essential."

— CHOICE "A very good book. . . . May be profitably read by anyone dreaming of a better America."

—l Arkansas Historical Quarterly "A valuable complement to other institutional biographies."

— American Historical Review
