Book Review

"We Return Fighting": The Civil Rights Movement in the Jazz Age. By Mark Robert Schneider. (Boston: Northeastern University Press, 2002. xii, 476 pp. $35.00, ISBN 1-55553-490-2.)

As the civil rights movement reached its crescendo, fractured, and ebbed in 1967, Charles Flint Kellogg published a history of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) in its first decade. His plan for succeeding volumes on the NAACP went unfulfilled. The title of Mark Robert Schneider's "We Return Fighting" is misleading in several ways, but it takes up the NAACP story where Kellogg ended. This is a history of the NAACP in the 1920s. An account of the "movement" in that decade would need, at least, to include the work of the National Urban League, African American denominations, black student movements, and black club-women. Since Kellogg's death, however, we have needed a successor to his first volume, and this may be it.
