- Title
Book Review: SNCC's Stories: The African American Freedom Movement in the Civil Rights South by Sharon Monteith.
- Authors
Stafford, Amanda
- Abstract
Sharon Monteith's book, "SNCC's Stories: The African American Freedom Movement in the Civil Rights South," provides a comprehensive history of the Student Nonviolent Coordination Committee (SNCC) and its print culture. The book explores the organization's use of literature and writing as a form of activism and as a way to shape its internal culture. Monteith's interdisciplinary approach uncovers the nuances and intersections within SNCC's history, challenging the dominant narrative of the civil rights movement. The book also highlights the contributions of SNCC's women writers and delves into the psychological trauma experienced by activists. While the content may be dense, the book offers valuable insights into SNCC's activism and its impact on social change.
