Black Movements in America Reviews

...stimulating...synthesis of African American protest...Robinson's framework forces one to consider black social movements from interesting perspectives. -- Rich Newman, The Historian
Robinson's writing is crisp and his meaning is always crystal clear. -- Journal of American History
Robinson...offers a compelling, concise look at the history of black activism in the U.S. Exploring nearly 400 years of this under-examined subject, Robinson reveals little-known, fascinating events in black activism, from pre-Revolutionary War America to the Civil War to the civil-rights movement era...a thoughtful, well-written work. -- Booklist
