The Civil Rights Revolution as Economic History
呼吁美国研究者将二战后时期纳入经济史研究，以民权革命为例，说明其成功速度与广度体现了“未预见的革命”动态，并证实1960年代的突破既是政治革命也是经济革命，影响了整个南部地区和非裔美国人。
This address urges Americanists to take the post–World War II era on board as economic history, using the Civil Rights Revolution to set an example. The speed and sweepof the movement's success illustrates the dynamics of an “unanticipated revolution” as analyzed by Timur Kuran, to be grouped with famous historical surprises such as the triumph of British antislavery and the fall of Soviet communism. The evidence confirms that the breakthroughs of the 1960s constituted an economic as well as a political revolution, in many respects an economic revolution for the entire southern region, as well as for African-Americans.
