ReviewsOver the last two decades, the history of civil rights has evolved from the story of the civil rights movement to the story of civil rights movements . Behnken's collection of essays is a valuable addition to this approach. Rejecting the traditional cooperation/conflict narrative, the contributors chose the concept of political activism as the catalyst to examine the complex but rich relationship between African Americans and Latinos.
