Integrating the 40 Acres: The Fifty-Year Struggle for Racial Equality at the University of Texas
"Goldstone has written a well-researched, thoughtful, and persuasive treatment of the long campaign to integrate the University of Texas at Austin from the 1940s onward. She details in compelling fashion the many ways in which the political leaders of Texas and the officials of the University sought to frustrate efforts from students and faculty for social justice and equality toward black citizens. Her book represents an important contribution toward understanding why the battle over the University of Texas and its racist policies was so central to the civil rights struggle in that state.”--Lewis L. Gould, Emeritus Professor of History at the University of Texas at Austin
