“对二十世纪在南方旗舰大学和白色赠地机构展开的废除种族隔离进程的第一次全面研究。“--艾米·汤普森·麦克坎迪斯，查尔斯顿学院“扩大了对民权运动的讨论，将学术空间作为斗争的场所，并通过在吉姆·克劳南方解散期间提供黑人机构的独特叙述，为南方历史做出了贡献。“-- Stephanie Y.埃文斯，佛罗里达大学没有其他地方可以读到“布朗诉教育委员会”如何改变高等教育在校园后，在州后，整个南方。在第一批非洲裔美国学生入学后的几年里，没有其他书详细描述了改变每所学校的持续斗争。高等教育机构长期以来一直是白色至上和黑人排斥的堡垒。反对吉姆·克劳的墙壁和州法律的权力，南方黑人--未来的学生、他们的父母和家人、他们的律师和他们的社区--努力获得机会和平等。“高等教育和民权运动”考察了种族历史的一个未充分研究的方面，揭示了废除种族隔离是一个过程，而不是一个事件。
"The first comprehensive study of the process of desegregation as it unfolded during the twentieth century at the flagship universities and white land-grant institutions of the south."--Amy Thompson McCandless, College of Charleston"Broadens the discussion of the civil rights movement to include academic spaces as sites of struggle and contributes to southern history by providing unique accounts of black agency during the dismantling of the Jim Crow South."-- Stephanie Y. Evans, University of FloridaNowhere else can one read about how "Brown v. Board of Education" transformed higher education on campus after campus, in state after state, across the South. And no other book details the continuing struggle to change each school in the years that followed the enrollment of the first African American students.Institutions of higher education long functioned as bastions of white supremacy and black exclusion. Against the walls of Jim Crow and the powers of state laws, black southerners--prospective students, their parents and families, their lawyers and their communities--struggled to gain access and equity. "Higher Education and the Civil Rights Movement" examines an understudied aspect of racial history, revealing desegregation to be a process, not an event.
