Dear Urs,

A new book will be published in a few weeks,
called NEW VOICES, Student Activism of the '80s
and '90s, by Tony Vellela.

Quoting from the press release:

The late 1980s have witnessed a resurgence of student activism that has gatheredtogether all types of people and social change issues to create a broad, wide-
ranging, and powerful movement among young people. Based on a year of extensive
travel, research and interviewing, this book brings together under one cover
all the different strands of student activism that make up today's multi-issue
student movement.
     Within the two broad categories of foreign policy and domestic policy, the author looks specifically at:  student movilization around South Africa and 
Central America, the role of the CIA, the War Machine, the economy and general
welfare, racism, sexism, gay, lesbian and bisexual rights, and student empower-
ment.
     It is an empowering exploration of the politics of young people, the links
being made between issues, the growth of national as well as local campus organ-izations, and the ways that, although they have inherited the legacy of the sixties, today's student activists are coming up with exciti
and strategies.  For anyone who follows social change movements, and of course
for students who are using their campuses as forums for political contest, this
is an essential book heralding an important new movement.
