Days of Hope Race and Democracy in the New Deal Era

"...Sullivan's scholarship should put to rest the illusion that the modern civil rights era began with the Supreme Court's 'Brown' decision or with Dr. King at Montgomery in the fifties....Although the case for a racially progressive New Deal has been made before...it has never been argued with more force or originality than in 'Days of Hope'....It is a testament to Sullivan's boldness that she seeks not merely to illuminate the New Deal era but also to redefine it--and to a remarkable extent she succeeds.Sullivan, Patricia is the author of 'Days of Hope Race and Democracy in the New Deal Era', published 1996 under ISBN 9780807845646 and ISBN 0807845647.
