Description
Nonfiction by Nadine Cohodas Free Press (Hardcover, $27.50, ISBN: 0684827212, 5/1997) Cohodas returns to the University of Mississippi 35 years after federal troops were sent there to enforce the enrollment of black student James Meredith. Using the violent struggles of the 1960s as a focal point of its history, this penetrating portrait of "Ole Miss" provides a frank and startling glimpse into a seemingly unbridgeable chasm in American culture, between the fantasies of the liberal conscience and the reality of deeply rooted racial tension.
