Book Review

At Berkeley in the Sixties: The Education of an Activist, 1961–1965. By Jo Freeman. (Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 2004. xxiii + 358 pp. Illustrations, notes, bibliography, index. $49.95, cloth; $21.95, paper.)

In At Berkeley in the Sixties, well-known author, feminist activist, and "guerrilla scholar" as she calls herself on her website, Jo Freeman skillfully places the story of her own origins as a political activist within the context of the larger Berkeley Free Speech and student movements at the University of California, Berkeley. Freeman explains that her book began as a "memoir and evolved into a history" (p. xxii). She augments her own memories, her personal collection of political materials and ephemera, and the letters she wrote to family and friends while she was a student with oral histories, FBI files, newspaper articles, and University of California archival material. Some of her most compelling evidence comes from surprising sources, such as the photos of student rallies taken by the Mississippi Sovereignty Commission, which sent informants to Berkeley in the hopes of identifying potential agitators in the Civil Rights Movement in the South.
