Editorial Reviews

Review
"More than other local histories of campus activism during this period, Dissent in the Heartland introduces national themes and events, and successfully places Indiana University into that context. The research in primary sources, including FBI files, along with numerous interviews, is superior, and the writing is lucid and at times provocative." Terry H. Anderson, author of The Sixties --This text refers to the Library Binding edition.

Review

"At first glance, Wynkoop (history, Univ. of Missouri) appears to present a rather mundane story of the 1960s at Indiana University in Bloomington. But the reader needs to plod on doggedly to look beyond the myriad of sometimes disparate observations and find a first-rate example of grassroots, as opposed to elite focused, history. This splendid historical piece demonstrates an important point: how the convergence of local events and values associated with the civil rights, antiwar, and women's movements of that era transformed the culture of a unique town and gown community. A relatively conservative campus and its surrounding city were changed profoundly by students, who for the most part mobilized around purely local and very personal issues, including dormitory hour restrictions for women students on campus. By concentrating on institutional and community effects, this book becomes a perfect complement to the more personality based and entertaining Miriam Horn's Rebels in White Gloves (1999). Wynkoop provides evidence of the policy effects of three significant vehicles that further participatory democracy: interest groups, mass movements, and community opinion. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above." -- W. P. Browne, Central Michigan University, Choice, May 2003

5.0 out of 5 stars Well Worth Reading, November 24, 2002
By Michael Gunther (Maryland, USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Mary Ann Wynkoop has written the definitive history of Indiana University student dissent in the 60's. I know first-hand most of the people and events of which she writes, and can say from personal experience that her book is accurate, sensitive, and reliable. This book will be of interest not only to present and former IU students, but to anyone who is interested in the American anti-war, student protest, civil rights, and early feminist movements of that time.

3.0 out of 5 stars I was in the thick of it, February 25, 2008
By Margaret Scott (Washington, DC USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was in the thick of it from fall of 1969 through summer of 1970. I worked for the Spectator and wrote a few articles. I marched in the demos. I was part of women's liberation. It was the most important year of my life. I went from being mild-mannered grad student to a person who questioned everything. It took me years to come down from the experience of being at IU at that time. The book is a good factual account of what happened but doesn't quite convey the unbelievable experience of watching the world change in front of your eyes. It was just a wonderful time.

5.0 out of 5 stars It made me feel just like I was there -- wait a minute, I was!, March 11, 2007
This book is fascinating! While I was never an activist, I was a student at Indiana University in the mid-60s, and I recall everything of what the author had to say about the times as being very accurate. When I went to I.U. as a freshman in 1963, women students still had a curfew, and male students had to take two years of compulsory ROTC. I put in my two years of ROTC (grudgingly) and then discovered that student "activists" had successfully campaigned to make it optional. It made me wish I had been more of an activist myself, and I would have been able to skip the second year of ROTC like they did! What I found most compelling about this book was the author's accounts of how student activism increased and changed after I graduated in 1967 and left the state -- wow, did it ever! This is a well-researched and well-written book and will be enjoyed particularly by anyone who is familiar with the time and place. Those who are not will also benefit from learning more about this socially and politically important era. It made me want to go back and visit Bloomington, Indiana all over again.
