"Takin' It to the Streets": A Sixties Reader
"Very useful as documentary basis for the protest of the sixties."--Jacob Cohen, Brandeis University"The editors have gathered a nice collection, in which reality and nostalgia are nicely balanced. At their hands, the whole business is not as dated as it sometimes can become, and the intensity and aliveness of the decade remains evident."--Gerald Michael Schnabel, Bemidji State University"Probably the best anthology I've seen dealing with the Sixties. Extremely readable and informative!"--John Ferguson, Northwestern Connecticut Community Tech College"A very comprehensive and useful collection of Sixties texts, which should work well for upper-division lecture classes on the United States since 1945, and for seminars on the Sixties."--David Stebenne, Ohio State University"Finally a well-organized, comprehensive 60s reader. Bloom and Breines have pulled together a remarkable collection that offers a passing tour into the politics, passions, ideas, and ideologies of the Sixties."--Thomas Sugrue, University of Pennsylvania"A splendid anthology, which can be used in all sorts of ways. It would make a wonderful addition to courses on the U.S. since 1945 and in the 1960's."--Daniel Murphy, Hanover College"A rich and balanced collection that is superbly edited. Ideal for undergraduate courses."--Richard Davies, University of Nevada"Great! Wonderful!"--Julian Bond, University of Virginia"There is nothing like this anthology available elsewhere. Given the breadth, quality and representativeness of the selections, as well as the intelligence with which they are organized, a course using this reader will practically teach itself.  For the general reader as well, it's the next best thing to having been there."--Robert Forbes, Yale University"What distinguishes this reader from many of its competitors, however, is the great care--not to mention considerable time--that went into finding obscure documents and material on lesser-known figures....Overall, this book is a valuable resource for students and teachers interested in primary source material on the social protest movements of the decade." -- Journal of American History
