Southern White Girl Seeks Social Change: A Twentieth Century Memoir (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781938007125)

Legendary activist and sociologist Nancy Stoller has written her memoir. Stoller captures the essence of growing up in Virginia in a Jewish family during the early 1960s, a time of great transformation in the American civil rights movement. Her memories, at the dawn of SNCC, of women's liberation, and the young people who "de-segregated" the US, each body on the line, every eye on the prize- is a story not to be missed. Stoller holds readers in the palm of her hand as she reveals the very personal roots of social activism and a genuine revolution in one's lifetime.
