Detailed item info
Synopsis
Sweet Land of Liberty is an epic, revelatory account of the abiding quest for justice in states from Illinois to New York, and of how the intense northern struggle differed from and was inspired by the fight down South.
While the decades-long struggle for civil rights took place on many fronts, the histories of the movement most often focus on the South--understandably. Thomas Sugrue provides a comprehensive examination of how the movement grew and took shape in the Northern cities. His well-researched history is, as expected, rich with names of people and organization. Sugrue conveys the situations and strategies that made the struggle in the North unique, and he describes the personal sacrifices and commitment of individuals--many not famous--to achieve the common goal of equality for all.

Publisher's Note
Ranging from the 1920s to the present day, a close-up look at the struggle for racial equality in the United States focuses on the events, issues, and people of the civil rights movement in the urban North, documenting the battle against segregation, conflict, and racial injustice and how it differed from and was inspired by events in the South. 25,000 first printing.

Industry reviews
"[T]his book is heavily detailed but consistently readable wit unparalleled scope and fresh focus."
 (09/22/2008)

"[Sugrue] writes in a readable, accessible style....A series of arresting vignettes vivifies Sugrue's often grim material....The great strength of this book is to show the political diversity among black Americans and their often conflicting tactics and goals."
 (01/04/2009)
