Reviews
"Eick makes a convincing case that important developments, long ignored by most scholars, were happening in the Midwest too. . . . Based on solid archival research as well as interviews with dozens of activists, this work will appeal to specialists in the modern civil rights movement and to scholars and teachers of Midwestern history."-- Great Plains Quarterly, "Straightforward, free of excessive jargon, and replete with substantive analysis, this work stands at the vanguard of a lengthy body of literature. Readers will find this work edifying and long overdue."-- Western Historical Quarterly, "A well-documented reminder that Kansas has been and is a place divided along racial lines. . . . An essential read for anyone interested in the history of race relations in Wichita or hoping for a foundation to begin understanding where those relations stand today. . . . Additionally, however, the book is an excellent primer on the national civil rights movement."-- Wichita Eagle, "What makes Dissent in Wichita more than a local case study is its detailed analysis of the NAACP. . . . Eick's rendering of the internal power struggle that pitched the 'young Turks' of the NAACP against the old guard makes fascinating if depressing reading."-- Journal of American History, "Eick is to be comended . . . she successfully places Wichita within the context of the larger black freedom movement. Dissent in Wichita is a model for local Civil Rights movement studies."-- Journal of the West, "While her book remains in essence a local history, Eick manages to add to and deepen our understanding of the Civil Rights Movement in several important ways, by showing that it had an important existence outside the South." -- Choice"A well-documented reminder that Kansas has been and is a place divided along racial lines. . . .

Western Historical QuarterlyADVANCE PRAISE:"Wichita at mid-century was a northern city with southern customs, where African Americans faced discrimination in the workplace, schools, housing, and public accommodations. Gretchen Eick's fascinating and moving account of the black freedom struggle in the Midwestern heartland is at the cutting edge of the new civil rights scholarship." -- John Dittmer, author of Local People: The Struggle for Civil Rights in Mississippi

Synopsis
On a hot summer evening in 1958, a group of African American students in Wichita, Kansas, quietly entered Dockum's Drug Store and sat down at the whites-only lunch counter. This was the beginning of the first sustained, successful student sit-in of the modern civil rights movement, instigated in violation of the national NAACP's instructions. Based on interviews with over eighty participants and observers of this sit-in, Dissent in Wichita traces the contours of race relations and black activism in an unexpected locus of the civil rights movement, revealing that the movement was a national, not a southern, phenomenon., Winner of the Richard L. Wentworth Prize in American History, Byron Caldwell Smith Book Prize, and the William Rockhill Nelson Award On a hot summer evening in 1958, a group of African American students in Wichita, Kansas, quietly entered Dockum's Drug Store and sat down at the whites-only lunch counter. This was the beginning of the first sustained, successful student sit-in of the modern civil rights movement, instigated in violation of the national NAACP's instructions. Dissent in Wichita traces the contours of race relations and black activism in this unexpected locus of the civil rights movement. Based on interviews with more than eighty participants in and observers of Wichita's civil rights struggles, this powerful study hones in on the work of black and white local activists, setting their efforts in the context of anticommunism, FBI operations against black nationalists, and the civil rights policies of administrations from Eisenhower through Nixon. Through her close study of events in Wichita, Eick reveals the civil rights movement as a national, not a southern, phenomenon. She focuses particularly on Chester I. Lewis, Jr., a key figure in the local as well as the national NAACP. Lewis initiated one of the earliest investigations of de facto school desegregation by the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare and successfully challenged employment discrimination in the nation's largest aircraft industries. Dissent in Wichita offers a moving account of the efforts of Lewis, Vivian Parks, Anna Jane Michener, and other courageous individuals to fight segregation and discrimination in employment, public accommodations, housing, and schools. This volume also offers the first extended examination of the Young Turks, a radical movement to democratize and broaden the agenda of the NAACP for which Lewis provided critical leadership. Through a close study of personalities and local politics in Wichita over two decades, Eick demonstrates how the tenor of black activism and white response changed as economic disparities increased and divisions within the black community intensified. Her analysis, enriched by the words and experiences of men and women who were there, offers new insights into the civil rights movement as a whole and into the complex interplay between local and national events.
