Barkan, Steven E.
American Sociological Review, v49 n4 p552-65 Aug 1984
Examines the White response to major Black protest campaigns in several Southern cities. Argues that local Southern leadership could have, by the choice of appropriate legal tactics, both effectively resisted Black demands and forestalled extensive White violence and Federal intervention.
