Counterrevolution: The Crusade to Roll Back the Gains of the Civil Rights Movement
Stephen Steinberg
Stanford University Press
Since the civil rights revolution, marked by the passage of landmark civil rights laws in the '60s, gains have been steadily and systematically whittled away. As history testifies, revolution nearly always triggers its antithesis: counterrevolution. In this book Steinberg provides an analysis of this backlash, tracing the reverse flow of history that has led to the current national reckoning on race.
