Robert Parris Moses A Life in Civil Rights and Leadership at the Grassroots


Free Download Laura Visser-Maessen, "Robert Parris Moses: A Life in Civil Rights and Leadership at the Grassroots"
English | 2016 | pages: 456 | ISBN: 1469666502, 1469627981 | EPUB | 4,0 mb
One of the most influential leaders in the civil rights movement, Robert Parris Moses was essential in making Mississippi a central battleground state in the fight for voting rights. As a leader of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), Moses presented himself as a mere facilitator of grassroots activism rather than a charismatic figure like Martin Luther King Jr. His self-effacing demeanor and his success, especially in steering the events that led to the volatile 1964 Freedom Summer and the formation of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party, paradoxically gave him a reputation of nearly heroic proportions. Examining the dilemmas of a leader who worked to cultivate local leadership, historian Laura Visser-Maessen explores the intellectual underpinnings of Moses’s strategy, its achievements, and its struggles.

Free Download Benjamin Hedin, "In Search of the Movement: The Struggle for Civil Rights Then and Now"
English | 2015 | pages: 206 | ISBN: 0872866475 | EPUB | 0,3 mb
"Benjamin Hedin went looking for the civil rights movement’s past, but he also ran smack into the present, which can suddenly look like the past and then just as suddenly look totally different. By bringing stirring people like Septima Clark into focus, Hedin does what good historians do, but by entwining history with current events, he does a lot more. Here is a haunting meditation on living in history as well as with it."-Sean Wilentz, author of The Rise of American Democracy: Jefferson to Lincoln

English | 2011 | pages: 208 | ISBN: 0826219454 | EPUB | 3,8 mb
At the end of the Civil War, Union general William Tecumseh Sherman was surprisingly more popular in the newly defeated South than he was in the North. Yet, only thirty years later, his name was synonymous with evil and destruction in the South, particularly as the creator and enactor of the "total war" policy. In Demon of the Lost Cause, Wesley Moody examines these perplexing contradictions and how they and others function in past and present myths about Sherman.

English | 2018 | pages: 198 | ISBN: 1786951789 | EPUB | 2,2 mb
Could the South have won the Civil War? This question has been asked and answered affirmatively dozens of times. But how likely was it, in reality? Now Andrew J. Heller (Gray Tide in the East) explores this fascinating subject using the tool of counterfactual analysis, instead of uninformed opinion, to look for an answer in Decision at Antietam. As always, Heller rests his arguments on solid research of the historical records and the works of reputable historians, both scholarly and popular, to which he adds his own imaginative, yet authentic, eyewitness accounts. A seamless blend of fiction and fact, Decision at Antietam is a convincing and very readable narrative history of a Civil War that might have been.
