"In the first sweeping history of Parks''s life, Theoharis shows us...[that] Parks not only sat down on the bus; she stood on the right side of justice for her entire life." --Julian Bond, chairman emeritus, NAACP " The Rebellious Life of Mrs. Rosa Parks will undoubtedly be hailed as one of the most important scholarly contributions to civil rights history ever written. ... I can''t wait to assign this book in every class I teach." --Melissa Harris-Perry, host, MSNBC''s Melissa Harris-Perry "Theoharis brings all of her talents as a political scientist and historian of the civil rights movement to bear on this illuminating biography of the great Rosa Parks." --Henry Louis Gates Jr. "The Rosa Parks in this book is as much Malcolm X as she is Martin Luther King Jr." --Charles Blow, The New York Times "Richly informative, calmly passionate and much needed." --Nell Irvin Painter, The New York Times Book Rreview "Charisma is not a word often used to describe Rosa Parks yet we have to recognize her star. The Rosa Parks challenge to the political system was deep and lasting even while she never raised her voice. The first female Speaker of the House of Representatives once said, ''You can get a lot done if you don''t need to take credit for it.'' She took a page from the book of Parks. Theoharis'' scholarship brings forth a woman whom many followed without ever realizing they were. She was courageous and strong. She also had a wonderful sense of humor. And an awesome sense of responsibility. This is a much needed book on the woman who is, arguably, the most important person in the last half of the twentieth century. Just as the Lincoln Memorial needs a statue of Frederick Douglass gently bending over with a pen in his hand for Lincoln to sign the Emancipation Proclamation, the statue of Martin Luther King, Jr. needs a statue of Rosa Parks just one or two steps ahead mouthing the words: ''Come on, Dr. King. We''ve got work to do.''" --Nikki Giovanni, Poet "How Theoharis learned the true nature of this woman is a story in itself. Parks always stood in the background, never volunteered information about herself and eschewed fame. There were no letters to consu< even her autobiography exposed little of the woman''s personality. She hid her light under a bushel, and it has taken an astute author to find the real Parks. Even though her refusal to give up her bus seat sparked a revolution, Rosa Parks was no accidental heroine. She was born to it, and Theoharis ably shows us how and why." -- Kirkus Reviews , Starred Review "Historian Theoharis offers a complex portrait of a forceful, determined woman who had long been active before the boycott she inspired and who had an even longer career in civil rights afterward." -- Booklist "Theoharis submits a lavishly well-documented study of Parks''s life and career as an activist." -- Publishers Weekly "Verdict: This meticulously researched book is for everyo≠advanced middle school and beyond." -- Library Journal "Jeanne Theoharis has written an eye-opening biography of Rosa Parks. It was ideal for the classroom: smart, brisk, and engaging. Best of all, Theoharis explodes all of the clichs surrounding a historical figure whom most students thought they knew. I will assign this book again and again." --Thomas J. Sugrue, David Boies Professor of History and Sociology, University of Pennsylvania "Jeanne Theoharis''s Rosa Parks is a pedagogical gift. Clearly written, forcefully argued, and filled with important and groundbreaking historical insights about the civil rights era, black women''s indelible political and intellectual framing of the movement, and the deep-seated black radicalism that undergirded the entire era. A must read book for every course on the civil rights movement. --Peniel E. Joseph, Professor of History at Tufts University and author of Waiting ''til the Midnight Hour: A Narrative History of Black Power in America, " The Rebellious Life of Mrs. Rosa Parks will undoubtedly be hailed as one of the most important scholarly contributions to civil rights history ever written. … I can't wait to assign this book in every class I teach."-Melissa Harris-Perry, host, MSNBC's Melissa Harris-Perry "Theoharis brings all of her talents as a political scientist and historian of the civil rights movement to bear on this illuminating biography of the great Rosa Parks."-Henry Louis Gates Jr., " The Rebellious Life of Mrs. Rosa Parks will undoubtedly be hailed as one of the most important scholarly contributions to civil rights history ever written. ...

We've got work to do.'"-Nikki Giovanni, Poet From the Hardcover edition., "At last, Jeanne Theoharis answers the question, who was Rosa Parks? The Rebellious Life of Mrs. Rosa Parks will undoubtedly be hailed as one of the most important scholarly contributions to Civil Rights history ever written. Theoharis details Parks as a radical, independent, careful and lifelong activist who has been unfairly frozen in a single time and place: 1955 Montgomery. Theoharis liberates Parks from this singular moment and finally asks the questions that previous journalists and scholars seemed insufficiently curious to ask. And the answers will surprise readers. I can't wait to assign this book in every class I teach."-Melissa Harris-Perry, Host, MSNBC's Melissa Harris-Perry Show
