An indispensable study of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee from the author of the bestselling A People's History of the United States.
SNCC: The New Abolitionists influenced a generation of activists struggling for civil rights and seeking to learn from the successes and failures of those who built the fantastically influential Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. It is considered an indispensable study of the organization and the social movements of the 1960s. Zinn’s documentation of the process of social change is an indispensable resource for activists who are continuing in the tradition of SNCC to fight for a more just world.
This edition includes a new foreword from Anthony Arnove situating Howard Zinn's work and legacy for today’s activists and an afterword from Barbara Ransby reflecting on the enduring importance of SNCC’s organizing and Zinn’s role in documenting many of the social justice movements of the 1960s.
