\ which is more up-to-date,
The recent period of protest probably began
in 1941 with the March On Washington Movement,
carefully described by Herbert Garfinkel in When
Negroes March (Free Press, 1959). The Bible of
the movement remains Martin Luther King's de-
scription of the Montgomery Bus Boycott, Stride
Toward Freedom (Harper, 1958). Two other re-
cent surveys of the current protest are Dan Wake-
field's Revolt in the South (Evergreen, 1960) which
covers the early sit-in period and its background,
and Louis Lomax' The Negro Revolt (Harper, 1962),
An alternative course of
action (armed defense) is suggested in Robert F.
Williams' Negroes With Guns (Marzani and Mun-
sell, 1962).
For those interested in a closer look at
preblems of community structure, Floyd Hunter's
Community, Power and Structure (Anchor, 1953) re-
mains standard. Negro community life is examined
in Drake and Cayton (cited above); John Dollard's
Caste and Class in a Southern Town (Anchor, 1949)
is also still good, On the psychological level
Gordon W. Aliport's The Nature of Prejudice
(Anchor, 1958) still leads the field, and for power-
ful insights into Negro psychologyAbram Kardiner
and Lionel Ovescy's The Mark ot Oppression
(Meridian, 1962) is tops. Negro family life is
discussed in the standard Negro Family in the U.S.
(Dryden, 1948) by the Negro scholar E, Franklin —
Fravier. and also in his well-known Black Bour-
geoisie (Collier, 1962). A good general text on
c-ugro fistory is John Hope Franklin's From
Slavery to Freedom (Knopf, 1957). Arnold Rose's
condensation of Gunnar Myrdal's The American
_ Dilemma (still the top work in the : field), entitled
The Negro in America (Beacon, 1957} is a good,
handy reference work.
Not much hag yet been written on nonviolence,
but Mulford Sibley's anthology The Quiet Battle
(Anchor, 1963) is valuable, as is is Martin Luther
King (cited above). Leo Kuper's Passive Resist-
ance in South Africa (Yale, 1957) is very good,
and Richard B. Gregg's The Power of Nonviolence
(Fellowship, 1959 ed) is the best general discus-
gion of the concept and its ramifications.
Hadley Cantril's The Psychology of Social
Movements (Wiley, 1941) h. has very good m: material
in it on mob behavior, and Killian and Grigg's
Racial Crisis in America (Prentice-Hall, 1964)
hae a solid section on bi-racial committees and
other current matters. Negotiation is covered
in Dean and Rosen's A Manual of Intergroup Rela-
tions (U. of Chicago Press, 1955). Musically _
“speaking, Guy and Candie Carawan’s We Shall
Overcome! (Oak, 1963) is the comprehensive work.
