Content:
"The goal of this volume is to bundle together for contemporary audiences a set of illuminating scholarly contributions-both previously published and freshly written-that together explore the wide range of progressive activist movements that took root in a single Midwestern city during the 1960s and 1970s. No existing publication puts into conversation examinations of such a broad collection of St. Louis organizing initiatives during this time period"--
