He stresses that the movement was shaped by local, national, and international circumstances in which individuals worked to redefine and expand the meaning and practice of democracy beyond the borders of their own state. Contrary to recent scholars who separate civil rights claims from general calls for economic justice, Lau asserts that African American demands for civil rights have been inseparable from broader demands for a redistribution of social and economic power. Using the tension between rights possession and rights application as his organizing theme, Lau fundamentally revises our understanding of the civil rights movement in America. [.] Peter F. Lau teaches history at Lincoln School in Providence, Rhode Island. He is the editor of From the Grassroots to the Supreme Court: Brown v. Board of Education and American Democracy.".
