With that belief, Bond reached back to 1965, when, as an activist with the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), he first began to struggle for "the just spoils of a virtuous and victorious war [the Civil Rights movement]", majority black voting districts and affirmative action...
...only reproach to be made against The Coast of Good Intentions is exactly that. It wants to tell the story of the coast of good intentions, and this moral undertone wraps the otherwise remarkably perspicacious oeuvre in a virtuous air--something that doesn't quite fit on the rest of Byers' literary turf.
