About

Civil Rights Literature Synopsis

Outstanding, in-depth scholarship by renowned literary critics; great starting point for students seeking an introduction to the theme and the critical discussions surrounding it.

American civil rights literature has largely been associated with speeches, letters, and non-fiction works produced by African-American activists of the 1950s and 60s such as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X. This volume not only examines key works of the African-american civil rights debate past and present, it also explores issues of gender equality and sexual orientation integral to civil rights studies.

Each essay is 2,500 to 5,000 words in length, and all essays conclude with a list of ""Works Cited,"" along with endnotes. Finally, the volume's appendixes offer a section of useful reference resources:

  • About This Volume
  • Critical Context: Original Introductory Essays
  • Critical Readings: Original In-Depth Essays
  • Further Readings
  • Detailed Bibliography
  • Detailed Bio of the Editor
  • General Subject Index
