H. Anderson examines the “movement” as a national
phenomenon during the 1960s and includes all activists who demonstrated for
social change. Responding to books that have focused on organizations (SNCC,
SDS, etc.) and ideologies (writings by Goodman and Whyte) to understand the
“movement,” Anderson argues that “social activism developed as a response to
numerous problems” and the feeling that those problems were “inconsistent with
the American ideal.” The movement was a loose alliance that evolved
dramatically over the course of the 1960s, from civil rights to student power
to anti-war. Anderson’s chronology is split into “two waves.” The first wave
(1960-1968) began “in the South, from Greensboro to Selma, and spread [ing] up
the east and west coasts to elite universities where students often formed or
joined new left organizations” and the second wave began in 1968, after the
days of decision between 1965 and 1967, the rise of Black Power and the Vietnam
War.  By the late 1960s, the movement had
become vast and, to a certain extent, amorphous and disorganized when compared
to the antecedents in the civil rights movement. “The first wave asked about
the rights of black citizens, the rights of students, about their obligation
fight a distant and undeclared war,” Anderson writes, “The second wave expanded
the issues to include all minorities and women, and broadened the attack against
the establishment.” (423)
