Anderson's ''The Movement and the Sixties'' was released by Oxford in 1995 and in e-book form in 2001 under the shortened title, ''The Sixties.'' Anderson traces the 1960s protest movement from the lunch counter [[sit-in]]s in [[Greensboro, North Carolina|Greensboro]], [[North Carolina]] to the [[Native American]] activists taking the town of [[Wounded Knee]], [[South Dakota]], hostage. Between those events, thirteen years apart, were the [[Freedom ride]]s, the "free speech" protests at the [[University of California at Berkeley]], the [[Selma to Montgomery march]] of 1965, the agitation against the Vietnam War, [[black power]], the 1968 [[Democratic National Convention]], the [[hippies]], and [[feminist]] rebellions. Anderson examines why so many became activists and took to the streets to make themselves heard by the otherwise "silent generation".<ref>{{cite book|url=http://www.oup.com/us/catalog/general/subject/HistoryAmerican/Since1945/~~/dmlldz11c2EmY2k9OTc4MDE5NTEwNDU3OA==|author=Terry H.
