Produktbeschreibungen
From Library Journal
Payne (African American studies, Northwestern Univ.) presents an illuminating examination of the Civil Rights movement at the local level, in this case Greenwood, Mississippi, in the 1960s. As Payne deftly grafts Greenwood's struggle onto the larger movement, he challenges several widely accepted conclusions, such as overemphasizing a core cadre of male leaders while overlooking the important contributions of women and youth and the belief that the black church was an early leader in the movement. Much of Payne's information is culled from oral interviews with actual movement participants. The result is an important history of the Civil Rights movement at the grass-roots level that is reminiscent of Robert Norrell's Reaping the Whirlwind: The Civil Rights Movement in Tuskegee (Knopf, 1985). The excellent bibliographic essay is essential reading. Recommended for any library that collects Civil Rights materials.

Two years ago the author taught a short course at my college on the Mississippi civil rights movemement. He used this book, and I've been recommending it to people ever since. His style and content are both amazing, and I feel really lucky to have had an opportunity to read this book in a course structured around it. _I've Got the Light of Freedom_ offers a new perspective on the way history is taught and remembered. Organizing and people's history are emphasized in what happens to be one of the best movement books out there. It's everything scholarly writing should be. Kudos to Charles Payne.

The real history of the civil rights movement. Who really made the difference in a day to day way on the front lines. Not only that, a description of how to organize from a working class, feminist perspective in the context of the African-American freedom struggle. A must read for anyone who is trying to build the movement we need today to make a world free of oppression.

This is an informative and moving narrative of the struggle to complete the unfinished business of the American Revolution of 1776. History from the bottom up-focusing on the smaller, lesser known, and ordinary actors that were able to display extraordinary courage. Courage defined as not the absence of fear but the ability to act inspite of reasonable and papable fear. The book is about their heroism and the organizing tradition which both nurtured and sustained their vision and tenacity. This is the book to truly understand and appreciate the movement and it's influence on social reform across a wide spectrum of American society. I know because I am a Mississippian. I was there. I was a SNCC organizer and agree with Mr. Payne that fully understanding SNCC and the organizing tradition is the key to a full appreciation of the scope of what the movement continues to suggest about the possibility for social change in the U.S.
