About this title

Synopsis

This concise collection of primary sources presents the story of US History as told by dissenters who, throughout the course of American history, have fought to gain rights they believed were denied to them or others, or who disagreed with the government or majority opinion.

 

Each document is introduced by placing it in its historical context, and thought-provoking questions are provided to focus the student when s/he reads the text. Instructors are at liberty to choose the documents that best highlight themes they wish to emphasize.

From the Author

This concise version of the original 800-page Dissent in America: The Voices That Shaped a Nation is a handy portable edition that you can take with you the next time you're participating in a protest demonstration or occupation (in case you need a little inspiration from your historical forebears).
