Críticas: "This is a particularly valuable collection, an excellent reader on the struggle for racial equality." -Howard Zinn, author of "A People's History of the United States" "Civil Rights Since 1787 is one of those rare documentary collections that rewrites history. Birnbaum and Taylor not only take a long and wide view of the movement, but they persuasively re-define civil rights to encompass many criticle struggles for social justice. This book is indispensable." -Robin D.G. Kelley, author of "Race Rebels: Culture, Politics, and the Black Working Class" "An unusually challenging illumination of our still very unfinished history of equal protection of the laws. No classroom, library, or legislature at any level should be without it, and nearly everyone will want to argue with parts of it." -Nat Hentoff, author of "Living the Bill of Rights and Free Speech for Me--But Not for Thee" "Jonathan Birnbaum and Clarence Taylor have plumbed historical documents to produce a study that has both truth and urgency. . . . You could not do better than this book." -"Jewish Currents", "As a reference book, "Civil Rights Since 1787" serves as an outstanding source. The book gives a lucid account of the history of institutional slavery and racism in America that is all too often perplexing when presented by educational texts." -"Chicago Streetwise",
