Taking to the streets, they made their voices heard on issues from local matters, such as dorm curfews and self-governance, to national issues of racism, sexism, and the Vietnam War. In this grassroots view of student activism, Mary Ann Wynkoop documents how students became antiwar protestors, civil rights activists, members of the counterculture, and feminists who shaped a protest movement that changed the heart of Middle America and redefined higher education, politics, and cultural values. Based on research in primary sources, interviews, and FBI files, \u003ci\u003eDissent in the Heartland\u003c\/i\u003e reveals the Midwestern pulse of the 1960s beating firmly, far from the elite schools and urban centers of the East and West. This revised edition includes a new introduction and epilogue that document how deeply students were transformed by their time at IU, evidenced by their continued activism and deep impact on the political, civil, and social landscapes of their communities and country.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e Introduction to the New Edition\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e Prologue\u003cbr\u003e 1.The Dawn of Dissent\u003cbr\u003e 2.The Awakening of Activism\u003cbr\u003e 3.The Antiwar Movement\u003cbr\u003e 4.A Precarious Peace\u003cbr\u003e 5.Student Rights\/Civil Rights: African Americans and the Struggle for Racial Justice\u003cbr\u003e 6.The Women's Movement: An Idea Whose Time Had Come\u003cbr\u003e 7.Bloomington and the Counterculture in Southern Indiana\u003cbr\u003e Epilogue: The End of an Era at Indiana University\u003cbr\u003e Epilogue to the New Edition\u003cbr\u003e Conclusion\u003cbr\u003e Bibliography\u003cbr\u003e Index\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Indiana University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52525070516504,"sku":"9780253026682","price":18.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/dissent-in-the-heartland-revised-and-expanded-edition-the-sixties-at-indiana-university-paperback-softback-9780253026682","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
