Hillbilly Nationalists, Urban Race Rebels, and Black Power

This audiobook sheds light on the often-overlooked contributions of poor and working-class radicals during the 1960s and 1970s, who were inspired by the Civil Rights movement and progressive populism. Authors James Tracy and Amy Sonnie challenge the traditional narrative that centers on white college activists by revealing how diverse groups of individuals organized significant political struggles against racism and inequality. Drawing on over a decade of research and personal interviews, they illustrate how these grassroots efforts redefined community activism and transformed lives.
