Led by Mario Savio and other young veterans of the civil rights movement, student activists organized what was to that point the most tumultuous student rebellion in American history. Mass sit-ins, a nonviolent blockade around a police car, occupations of the campus administration building, and a student strike united thousands of students to champion the right of students to free speech and unrestricted political advocacy on campus. This compendium of influential speeches and previously unknown writings offers insight into and perspective on the disruptive yet nonviolent civil disobedience tactics used by Savio. The Essential Mario Savio is the perfect introduction to an American icon and to one of the most important social movements of the post-war period in the United States.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 229mmItem Length: 152mmItem Width: 20mmItem Weight: 454gContributor: Robert Cohen (Edited by), Tom Hayden (Foreword by), Robert Reich (Afterword by), Lynne Hollander Savio (Epilogue by)Genre: Law & PoliticsTopic: Children's Learning & Education, Social Sciences, History, Society & CultureAuthor: Robert CohenRelease Year: 2014 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
