African & African American Studies: Socio-Political Movements

This page lists selected information sources on sociopolitical movements driven by African Americans. This page will include works that reference black rebellion, the civil rights movement, and the black lives matter movement. 

Books provide information on a narrower subject area, and may only cover a specific aspect of a subject area. Some books may also provide broad surveys of a topic.

Reference sources provide summaries of facts, definition of terms, summaries of histories, short biographies, etc., on large subject areas. They are the best place to start research, particularly for users unfamiliar with a a field of study or subject area. Most of the reference sources at LSU Libraries are accessible online, but there are many reference sources available in print in the Libraries' stacks. 

The videos listed are documentaries.
