These hearings, held by John Sibley and the Georgia General Assembly Committee on Schools, offered a rare glimpse into the reactions of southerners--black and white--to the changes wrought by the civil rights movement. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eRestructured Resistance\u003c\/i\u003e uses newly opened private papers, public records, newspaper reports, and oral history interviews to examine how the desegregation of public schools in Georgia reflected the evolution of southern society, economics, and politics. In the midst of crisis over segregation as a symbol of southern distinctiveness, the state legislature accepted the inevitable, adopted the Sibley Commission's proposals, and created a deliberate and more utilitarian form of defiance--a restructured resistance--rooted in contemporary practicality and corporate pragmatism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeff Roche\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0820338850\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820338859\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Georgia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.89lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.61d","brand":"Jeff Roche","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47965737615615,"sku":"9780820338859","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8a0e66e1-5f72-493a-a257-671c160b9559.jpg?v=1767284466","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/restructured-resistance-jeff-roche-9780820338859","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
