Takin' It to the Streets is a comprehensive collection of original documents covering political, social and cultural aspects of the 1960's, with authors ranging from Malcolm X to Richard Nixon. Drawn from mainstream sources, little known sixties periodicals, public speeches and pamphlets, this anthology brings together writings that have been unavailable for years or have never been reprinted. While paying particular attention to civil rights, Black power, the counter-culture, student and anti-war activity, and the gay/lesbian and women's struggle for recognition, the authors also take into account the conservative backlashes these sparked and thus present a balanced portrait of a tumultous era.
