Below the radar : how silence can save civil rights
Gash, Alison LAuthor
Scholars and pundits have come to expect backlash to civil rights battles, especially when courts are involved. Drawing from interviews with advocates and opponents, this book introduces readers to two sets of civil rights battles in which advocates devised strategies to remain 'under the radar' and away from the prying eyes of a volatile public. In so doing they diminished both the incidence and influence of backlash.
