During the 1970s and beyond, political causes both left and right-the gay rights movement,
second-wave feminism, the protests against busing to desegregate schools, the tax
revolt, and the anti-abortion struggle-drew inspiration from the protest movements
of the 1960s. Indeed, in their enthusiasm for direct-action tactics, their use of
street theater, and their engagement in grassroots organizing, activists in all these
movements can be considered "children of the Sixties." Invocations of America's founding
ideals of liberty and justice and other forms of patriotic protest have also featured
prominently in the rhetoric and image of these movements. Appeals to the Declaration
of Independence and the Bill of Rights have been made forcefully by gay rights activists
and feminists, for instance, while participants in the antibusing movement, the tax
revolt, and the campaign against abortion rights have waved the American flag and
claimed the support of the nation's founders. In tracing the continuation of quintessentially
"Sixties" forms of protest and ideas into the last three decades of the twentieth
century, and in emphasizing their legacy for conservatives as well as those on the
left, "American Patriotism, American Protest" shows that the activism of the civil
rights, New Left, and anti-Vietnam War movements has shaped America's modern political
culture in decisive ways. As well as providing a refreshing alternative to the "rise
and fall" narrative through which the Sixties are often viewed, Simon Hall's focus
on the shared commitment to patriotic protest among a diverse range of activists from
across the political spectrum also challenges claims that, in recent decades, patriotism
has become the preserve of the political right. -- Book jacket
