The Minority Rights Revolution

By John David Skrentny

Book Overview

In the wake of the black civil rights movement, other disadvantaged groups of Americans began to make headway - Latinos, women, Asian Americans, and the disabled found themselves the beneficiaries of new laws and policies - and by the early 1970s a minority rights revolution was well underway. In the first book to take a broad perspective on this wide-ranging and far-reaching phenomenon, John D. Skrentny exposes the connections between the diverse actions and circumstances that contributed to this revolution - and that forever changed the face of American politics.
