Book Review

Freedom North: Black Freedom Struggles outside the South, 1940–1980. Ed. by Jeanne Theo-haris and Komozi Woodard. (New York: Pal-grave, 2003. xiv, 326 pp. Cloth, $69.95, ISBN 0-312-29467-0. Paper, $22.95, ISBN 0-312-29468-9.)
Collected essays—frequently spotty in coverage and uneven in quality—often promise more than they deliver. Freedom North, edited by Jeanne Theoharis and Komozi Woodard, does not escape all the pitfalls of this genre, but it is an important contribution to the fast-growing literature on the modern civil rights movement.	1
Theoharis offers the main interpretive perspective of this anthology in a feisty introduction. "A fuller inclusion of Northern activism within the postwar freedom narrative," she argues, challenges the notion that the movement went from civil rights to Black Power, that Black Power caused the decline of the movement, that self-defense was new to the movement in the 1960s, and that well-organized nonviolent movements were not as prevalent or successful across the North as they were in the South from 1940 to 1980.
