A Case of Black and White: Northern Volunteers and the Southern Freedom Summers, 1964-1965 (Contributions in Afro-American and African Studies)

'œMary Aickin Rothschild has written a valuable and informative study of the volunteers who went south both that summer and next. Relying on her own interviews with former volunteers, letters the volunteers wrote at the time, and the initial applications many of them submitted to the sponsoring organizations, Rothschild presents a comprehensive and empathic account of who the volunteers were, what motivated them to go south, and what they did and experienced once they were there. . . . A Case of Black and White will be of value to all civil rights scholars.'' The Journal of American HistoryMary Aickin Rothschild is the author of 'A Case of Black and White: Northern Volunteers and the Southern Freedom Summers, 1964-1965 (Contributions in Afro-American and African Studies)', published 1982 under ISBN 9780313234309 and ISBN 0313234302.
