Book Review

The Free Speech Movement: Reflections on Berkeley in the 1960s. Edited by Robert Cohen and Reginald E. Zelnik. (Berkeley: University of California Press, 2002. xx + 618 pp. Illustrations, notes, selected bibliography, index. $55.00, £37.00, cloth; $19.95, £13.95, paper.)

On 14 September 1964, the dean of students at the University of California, Berkeley, announced that the "Bancroft strip" could "no longer function as a free speech sanctuary." The administration later claimed, justifying its decision, that the area had become too congested (pp. 271–2). Within days the campus erupted into what became known as the Free Speech Movement (FSM). The newest book to tell the story, does it well. In The Free Speech Movement, editors Robert Cohen and Reginald Zelnik bring together thirty-one authors, including Mario Savio, to provide a panoramic view of the movement and its affect on those involved, and on society. Many of the contributors have become well-known scholars and most are veterans of the FSM, as were the editors: Cohen as an undergraduate and Zelnik a junior faculty member.
