Still Fighting for Our Rights: The Ongoing Struggle for Civil Rights in the USA, 1965-1980

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The American civil rights struggle has close parallels with Australia's, since both countries are new and culturally-diverse societies where race has played a central role in defining the national character. Our study will help to further strengthen the close links between Australia and the U.S., and will raise the profile of Australian higher education in the U.S, since both Minchin and Salmond have published widely in the U.S, especially in this field. Much of the recent upsurge in scholarship on U.S. civil rights has been carried out by scholars based outside the U.S., especially in Europe, and it is vital to have Australian-based scholars and institutions at the heart of this vibrant and relevant field.
