Description
From the Mills College strike of 1990 to the Chicano Studies movement at UCLA, from African American student unrest at Rutgers University in 1995 to student protest in California against the passage of Propositions 187 and 209, issues of cultural diversity have rocked college campuses for much of this decade. Indeed, Robert Rhoads locates the key to understanding renewed student activism in the 1990s within the struggle over multiculturalism. In Freedom's Web: Student Activism in an Age of Cultural Diversity, he focuses on how students have utilized what many scholars describe, both affectionately and pejoratively, as "identity politics" to advance various concerns tied to diversity issues.
First Sentence
In the early years of the 1960s, thousands of college students spent their summers in the South as they worked to advance the civil rights of the American Negro.
