About This Item
Chapel Hill, North Carolina, U.S.A.: University of North Carolina Press, 1991. Book. Very Good. Trade Paperback. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. xvi, 323pp., index, notes, tables, photos, maps. Near fine. "In Boston Against Busing Ronald Formisano explores the sources of white opposition to school desegregation. He sees white resistance as an example of reactionary populism, a social movement mixing both populist and conservative elements. Racism was a key factor, but racial prejudice alone cannot explain the movement. He also points out how the tactics and philosophies of the Boston antibusers of the 1970s resembled those of the student and black activists of the previous decade.".
