As someone involved in social activism today, this book offers incredible insights into past movements. The intersectionality discussed between different races during the New Left is eye-opening and relevant. I'd recommend it to anyone looking to understand the roots of current struggles.

Interesting but Lacked Focus
I found some parts fascinating, especially the urban race rebels. However, the book felt a bit scattered at times, jumping between topics without enough depth. Still worth a read if you're into the social dynamics of that era.

A Deep Dive into History
This book really captures the essence of the 60s and 70s. I appreciated the updated content on interracial solidarity, making it relevant for today's discussions. The narratives are engaging and informative, perfect for anyone studying social movements.

Good but Not What I Expected
I bought this book thinking it would focus more on Black Power specifically. While it covers a lot of ground, it didn’t quite hit the mark for me. The writing is solid, but I was hoping for more detail on certain events.
