About This Item
Oakland, California: University of California Press, 2014. Paperback. New. xxvi, 291 pages: illustrations, facsimiles ; 24 cm. Includes bibliographical references (pages 279-283) and index. Contents: The making of a Berkeley civil right activist -- Going south: Mississippi freedom summer -- Leading the Free Speech Movement: protest and negotiation, September-November 1964 -- "No restrictions on the content of speech": Savio and the FSM win, December, 1964.
"The Free Speech Movement in Berkeley, California was pivotal in shaping 1960s America. Led by Mario Savio and other young veterans of the civil rights movement, student activists organized what was to that point the most tumultuous student rebellion in American history. Mass sit-ins, a nonviolent blockade around a police car, occupations of the campus administration building, and a student strike united thousands of students to champion the right of students to free speech and unrestricted political advocacy on campus. This compendium of influential speeches and previously unknown writings offers insight and perspective into the disruptive yet nonviolent civil disobedience tactics used by Savio. The Essential Mario Savio is the perfect introduction to an American icon and to one of the most important social movements of the post-war period in the United States"--Provided by publisher
