Greenhaven Press's American Social Movements series examines the development of significant trends in America. Each volume in the series follows the progression of a social movement, from its historical roots to its most recent efforts and concerns. Carefully selected and edited viewpoints drawn from both the movement's leading advocates as well as scholarly interpretations and reports provide students with the basic tools for writing research papers and reports. Each selection is introduced with a concise summary of the article's main ideas and biographical information on the author. An introductory essay provides a general overview of the topic. Additional research tools include an extensive bibliography, a chronology of events, and a comprehensive index.

"The 21 essays, speeches, book excerpts, and personal observations, organized historically, look at the movement from both inside and out. The anthology offers a solid starting point for research."
-- Booklist (September 2002)
