The Moynihan Report and the Politics of Controversy, including the Text of Daniel Patrick Moynihan's: The Negro Family: The Case For National Action, by Lee Rainwater (HC, 1967, $3.50)
"The Moynihan Report signaled a change in governmental thinking on the civil rights movement, shifting the emphasis from law to living conditions. Moynihan's central point- the absence of a strong male figure in the Negro family and the consequent loss in family stability- was an outgrowth of considerable accumulated social science research dating from as long as thirty years ago... The authors consider the political situation at the time the Report was submitted and the intricate composition of current political attitudes of the civil rights movement."
