Editorial Reviews

Review

These reassessments make clear that the real ‘movement’ that these editors faced was less the civil rights movement than the white supremacist movement, which ruled the state by violence and espionage. It is partly owing to the work of the best of these editors that a book as candid as this one can be published in the state as a matter of course.
