Description

From the abolition of slavery, to the civil rights movement 100 years later, one of the primary characteristics of America's development as a nation has been the steady struggle for, and expansion of the horizons of citizenship. How the president addresses any such movement profoundly affects its chances of success. This text examines the logic of presidential behaviour with regard to equality movements. Focusing on the most explosive and enduring of such movements - the struggle for social and economic parity by African-Americans - the author argues that the president's unwritten mandate as the designated protector of domestic social order, is to suppress or moderate major social change. Consequently, only in extreme circumstances have presidents become advocates of serious reform. The book goes beyond Lincoln, Kennedy and Johnson, with discussions of F.D. Roosevelt, Truman and Eisenhower, to see how these presidents dealt with situations that forced them into the fray. It questions the positive role played by some presidents, and demonstrates that American political culture made it unlikely that any president would invest executive power in a deeply controversial enterprise.
