" The Struggle for the People's King offers a new set of tools for examining meaning construction processes in efforts to bring about or resist social change. . . . Yazdiha's ideas extend far beyond a focus on collective memory related to a specific historical figure. Her work opens the door to analyses that give close attention to how culture and structured inequalities constrain and enable social change and efforts to remedy injustice and inequality." ---Rory McVeigh, Social Forces, " The Struggle for the People ' s King is commendable for its methodological rigor and its political prescience. Equally noteworthy is its theoretical heft. . . . [and] its attention to the globality of civil rights memory. " ---Meghan Tinsley, American Journal of Sociology, Winner of the Charles Tilly Best Book Award, Collective Behavior and Social Movements section of the American Sociological Association, Yazdiha demonstrates how the United States' collective future is at stake in the stories Americans tell themselves to rationalize, legitimize, or justify their political claims. Based on assiduous research with sophisticated mixed theories laid out in a methodological appendix., Yazdiha shows how the corrupted memory of the Civil Rights Movement now allows it to be used against itself, inviting broader reflection about the place of collective memory in democratic politics. The book also makes a strong case forteaching history comprehensively and unflinchingly. . . . In the political cautions that story makes, [ The ] Struggle for the People's King is a book that will be revealing to students and useful to activists.

Synopsis
In the post-civil rights era, wide-ranging groups have made civil rights claims that echo those made by Black civil rights activists of the 1960s, from people with disabilities to women's rights activists and LGBTQ coalitions. Increasingly since the 1980s, white, rightwing social movements, from family values coalitions to the alt-right, now claim the collective memory of civil rights to portray themselves as the newly oppressed minorities. The Struggle for the People's King reveals how, as these powerful groups remake collective memory toward competing political ends, they generate offshoots of remembrance that distort history and threaten the very foundations of multicultural democracy. In the revisionist memories of white conservatives, gun rights activists are the new Rosa Parks, antiabortion activists are freedom riders, and antigay groups are the defenders of Martin Luther King's Christian vision. Drawing on a wealth of evidence ranging from newspaper articles and organizational documents to television transcripts, press releases, and focus groups, Hajar Yazdiha documents the consequential reimagining of the civil rights movement in American political culture from 1980 to today. She shows how the public memory of King and civil rights has transformed into vacated, sanitized collective memory that evades social reality and perpetuates racial inequality. Powerful and persuasive, The Struggle for the People's King demonstrates that these oppositional uses of memory fracture our collective understanding of who we are, how we got here, and where we go next., How the misuses of Martin Luther King's legacy divide us and undermine democracy In the post-civil rights era, wide-ranging groups have made civil rights claims that echo those made by Black civil rights activists of the 1960s, from people with disabilities to women's rights activists and LGBTQ coalitions.

- 8***5 (18)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI didn't see a verbal description of this book as "hardcover" or paperback. Cover design and price were similar to both cover styles. I thought I'd left a question for the seller, but I may have done something wrong. The package was too small to match the hardcovers previously received so I returned it unopened. Seller was very efficient, and packaging offered excellent protection. Haven't checked to see if refund was processed.
