We Ain't What We Was: Civil Rights in the New South

By Frederick M. Wirt

Book Overview

This book is a very important treatment of one of the greatest accomplishments of the American political and legal system--the elimination of the system of state-imposed apartheid in the South. It offers richly grounded observations by the same scholar of the same issues over a quarter century of profound and complex change and provides an important resource for historians and those trying to think about the capacity of law to resolve aspects of the American racial crisis. - Gary Orfield, from the foreward.
