Introduction : am I not a man and a brother? -- Man the guns -- A question of honor -- Freedom summer and the Mississippi movement -- God's angry men -- The Moynihan report -- I am a man! : the Memphis sanitation strike -- "The baddest motherfuckers ever to set foot inside of history" -- Conclusion : "the heartz of men."
This explores key groups, leaders and events in the civil rights movement to understand how activists used race and manhood to articulate their visions of what American society should be. He demonstrates that both segregationists and civil rights activists harnessed masculinist rhetoric, tapping into assumptions about race, gender, and sexuality.
