Synopsis
In the two years since the first edition of this book appeared, some commentators have argued that the struggle over power on American campuses has died down or gone away. That vision, argues the editor of this new edition, comes more from wishful thinking than a sober assessment of long-term trends.
Campus Power Struggle explores the conditions provoking political change on campuses and the processes through which that change occurs. It traces the explosive evolution of the student political movement from the Berkeley Free Speech Movement to armed confrontation at Cornell. From campus conflict as a microcosm of larger political struggles for self-determination to student concern about infringements upon personal liberties, the studies in this book provide authoritative insight into unrest on American campuses.
