Delving into a wide variety of sources, from memoirs to televised docudramas, commemoration ceremonies, and the creation of Little Rock High museums, Devlin reveals how many white moderates proclaimed Little Rock a victory for civil rights and educational equality even as segregation persisted. At the same time, African American activists, students, and their families asserted their own stories in the ongoing fight for racial justice. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDevlin also demonstrates that public memory directly bears on law and policy. She argues that the triumphal narrative of civil rights has been used to stall school desegregation, support tokenism, and to roll back federal court oversight of school desegregation, voter registration, and efforts to promote diversity in public institutions. \u003ci\u003eRemember Little Rock\u003c\/i\u003e examines the chasm between the rhetoric of the \"post--civil rights\" era and the reality of enduring racial inequality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Erin Krutko Devlin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1625342691\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781625342690\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Massachusetts Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/30\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Erin Krutko Devlin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48439868621055,"sku":"9781625342690","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7764dbe0-3d48-469d-8b41-7fb8524969bc.jpg?v=1777179599","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/remember-little-rock-erin-krutko-devlin-9781625342690","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
