Ramparts Magazine’s Rights Revolution

Shem Fleenor

Ramparts Magazine, an American political muckraker that captured the revolutionary zeitgeist of the era, existed from 1962 - 1975. Shem Fleenor’s Ramparts Magazine’s Rights Revolution provides an examination of the muckraking publication’s unabashed championing of the courageous efforts of traditionally marginalized Americans demanding civil rights and social equality. The chapters focus specifically on Mexican American, Native American, and African American efforts to attain economic and political equality. Those chapters are followed by essays focused on the publication’s coverage of the Women’s Liberation Movement; the notion that all Americans had a right to adequate and affordable healthcare; the rise of the Modern Environmentalist Movement; and the growing prominence of what came to be known as the counterculture in American society during the 1960s and 1970s.
