Berkeley: The New Student Revolt
Condition remarks:
Condition: Good to fair. Paperback. Page Condition: Good - possible tanning. Markings: possible previous owner inscription.
A landmark work of political journalism and radical history, Berkeley: The New Student Revolt chronicles the explosive Free Speech Movement that erupted at the University of California, Berkeley in 1964 — one of the defining moments of the American student activist tradition. Hal Draper, a sharp-eyed socialist writer and librarian at Berkeley, presents a vivid, firsthand account of the confrontations between students and university administration, illuminating how a campus protest ignited a nationwide conversation about civil liberties, institutional authority, and the moral responsibilities of a generation. With the authority of a participant-observer, Draper details the key figures, pivotal events, and ideological underpinnings of a movement that would shape decades of American political culture. The volume gains added historical weight from its introduction by Mario Savio, the charismatic student leader whose impassioned speeches became the voice of a generation's revolt against the machine.
