SELMA TO SAIGON: THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT AND THE VIETNAM WAR (CIVIL RIGHTS AND THE STRUGGLE FOR BLACK EQUALITY IN THE TWENTIETH CENTURY)
Book ID/图书代码： 13012015B79006
English Summary/英文概要： The civil rights and anti--Vietnam War movements were the two greatest protests of twentieth-century America. The dramatic escalation of U.S. involvement in Vietnam in 1965 took precedence over civil rights legislation, which had dominated White House and congressional attention during the first half of the decade. The two issues became intertwined on January 6, 1966, when the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) became the first civil rights organization to formally oppose the war, protesting the injustice of drafting African Americans to fight for the freedom of the South Vietnamese people when they were still denied basic freedoms at home.
Selma to Saigon explores the impact of the Vietnam War on the national civil rights movement. Before the war gained widespread attention, the New Left, the SNCC, and the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) worked together to create a biracial alliance with the potential to make significant political and social gains in Washington. Contention over the war, however, exacerbated preexisting generational and ideological tensions that undermined the coalition, and Lucks analyzes the causes and consequences of this disintegration.
This powerful narrative illuminates the effects of the Vietnam War on the lives of leaders such as Whitney Young Jr., Stokely Carmichael, Roy Wilkins, Bayard Rustin, and Martin Luther King Jr., as well as other activists who faced the threat of the military draft along with race-related discrimination and violence. Providing new insights into the evolution of the civil rights movement, this book fills a significant gap in the literature about one of the most tumultuous periods in American history.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 人权与反越战是二十世纪美国最大的两场运动。1956年美国在越南干涉急剧扩大，凌驾于人权法律之上，十年里最初的五年，战争支配着白宫和国会的注意力。1966年1月6日，两场运动搅了在一起。全国学生非暴力协调会成为第一个人权组织，并正式反对越战，抗议非裔美国人被强迫为南越人民的自由而战的不公平待遇，而在那里的人却是抵触国内最基本的自由的。
本书探究了越战对国内人权运动的冲击。在战争并未得到广泛关注之前，新左派，学生非暴力协调会，种族平等会一起以其潜在力量创建了一个两种肤色的人的联盟，以在华盛顿谋取政治和社会性的结果。然而战争带来的争论加剧了先前的代际和意识形态上的紧张氛围，破坏了联盟，卢克斯分析了这次联盟瓦解的原因和结果。
作者有利论证了越战对领袖人物的影响，如小惠特尼•扬、斯托克利•卡迈克尔、罗伊•威尔金斯、贝亚德•赖斯丁和马丁•路德•金以及其他的活动家，他们同样都面临着种族歧视与暴力和军事威胁恐吓。本书提供了人权运动发展的新见解，填补了一项美国历史上最纷乱的时期空白，意义重大。(LNL)
