Can anyone recommend some good nonfiction on the American Civil Rights movement? I'm looking for something that analyzes the movement itself, the events leading up to it, and it's outcome on a more macroscopic scale rather than a biographical fetishization of movement leaders like MLK Jr or pic related.

Please only respond to this thread if you actually read, thanks.

I read The Fire Next Time and found its indictment to Christendom to be a little like the New Atheists to be honest. Had some powerful parts, but his notion that Christendom eventuated in the Holocaust is, to my mind, ahistorical and anyway too essentialist

Malcolm X was actually influenced by Spengler.
Spengler is one of those figures who keeps popping up wherever you least expect him.
