Boston Against Busing - Race, Class, and Ethnicity in the 1960s and 1970s - Paperback - 2004

Perhaps the most spectacular reaction to courtordered busing in the 1970s occurred in Boston, where there was intense and protracted protest. Ron Formisano explores the sources of white opposition to school desegregation. Racism was a key factor, he argues, but racial prejudice alone cannot explain the movement.
