 Southern Association for Women Historians Julia Cherry Spruill PrizeFinalist, Hooks National Book AwardHonorable Mention, Frances S. Summersell Center for the Study of the South Deep South Book Prize How Black women used lessons in literacy to crack the foundation of white supremacy This
 book details how African American women used lessons in basic literacy 
to crack the foundation of white supremacy and sow seeds for collective 
action during the civil rights movement. Deanna Gillespie traces the 
history of the Citizenship Education Program (CEP), a grassroots 
initiative that taught people to read and write in preparation for 
literacy tests required for voter registration—a profoundly powerful 
objective in the Jim Crow South. Born in 1957 as a result
 of discussions between community activist Esau Jenkins, schoolteacher 
Septima Clark, and Highlander Folk School director Myles Horton, the CEP
 became a part of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference in 1961. 
The teachers, mostly Black women, gathered friends and neighbors in 
living rooms, churches, beauty salons, and community centers. Through 
the work of the CEP, literate black men and women were able to gather 
their own information, determine fair compensation for a day’s work, and
 register formal complaints. Drawing on teachers’ reports
 and correspondence, oral history interviews, and papers from a variety 
of civil rights organizations, Gillespie follows the growth of the CEP 
from its beginnings in the South Carolina Sea Islands to southeastern 
Georgia, the Mississippi Delta, and Alabama’s Black Belt. This book 
retells the story of the civil rights movement from the vantage point of
 activists who have often been overlooked and makeshift classrooms where
 local people discussed, organized, and demanded change.   A volume in the series Southern Dissent, edited by Stanley Harrold and Randall M. Miller

Unequal Freedoms - Ethnicity, Race, And White Supremacy In Civil Warera Charleston

de Jeff Strickland

112,56€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 During the latter half of the nineteenth century, German and Irish immigrants were as central to the development of the political economy of Charleston, South Carolina, as white southerners and African Americans. As artisans and entrepreneurs, foreigners occupied a middle tier in the racial and ethnic hierarchy of the South’s most economically and politically important city. As agents of change, they provided a buffer, alleviating tensions between the castes until assimilating after emancipation and, in many instances, effectively embracing white supremacy.In Unequal Freedoms, Jeff Strickland examines the complex interplay of race, ethnicity, and class to reveal the pivotal ways in which European immigrants influenced the social, economic, and political development of the South.

Slavery And The Peculiar Solution - A History Of The American Colonization Society

de Eric Burin

17,21€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 "An exceptional work that will stand for years as the best study of the African colonization movement. Burin's insights into this often misunderstood idea will be appreciated by all historians of the early national era. The research, both archival and secondary, is excellent."--Douglas Egerton, Le Moyne College "Burin adds significantly to our understanding of the world view of slaveholding colonizationists, of their negotiations with prospectively freed people, and of their struggle with proslavery critics of colonization. . . . Historians of proslavery thought will find new ideas and information here."--Torrey Stephen Whitman, Mount St. Mary’s College From the early 1700s through the late 1800s, many whites advocated removing blacks from America. The American Colonization Society (ACS) epitomized this desire to deport black people. Founded in 1816, the ACS championed the repatriation of black Americans to Liberia in West Africa. Supported by James Madison, James Monroe, Henry Clay, and other notables, the ACS sent thousands of black emigrants to Liberia. In examining the ACS’s activities in America and Africa, Eric Burin assesses the organization’s impact on slavery and race relations. Burin focuses on ACS manumissions—that is, instances wherein slaves were freed on the condition that they go to Liberia. In doing so, he provides the first account of the ACS that covers the entire South throughout the antebellum era. He investigates everyone involved in the society’s affairs, from the emancipators and freedpersons at the center to the colonization agents, free blacks, southern jurists, newspaper editors, neighboring whites, proslavery ideologues, northern colonizationists, and abolitionists on the periphery. In mixing a panoramic view of ACS operations with close-ups on individual participants, Burin presents a unique, bifocal perspective on the ACS. Although colonization leaders initially envisioned their program as a pacific enterprise, in reality the push-and-pull among emancipators, freedpersons, and others rendered ACS manumissions logistically complex, financially troublesome, legally complicated, and at times socially disruptive enterprises. Like pebbles dropped in water, ACS manumissions rippled outward, destabilizing slavery in their wake. Based on extensive archival research and a database of 11,000 ACS emigrants, Burin’s study offers new insights concerning the origins, intentions, activities, and fate of the colonization movement.

Latino Orlando - Suburban Transformation And Racial Conflict

de Simone Delerme

212,00€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Inside the experiences of immigrants from Latin America and the Caribbean Latino Orlando portrays the experiences of first- and second-generation immigrants who have come to the Orlando metropolitan area from Puerto Rico, Cuba, Mexico, Venezuela, Colombia, and other Latin American countries. While much research on immigration focuses on urban destinations, Simone Delerme delves into a middle- and upper-class suburban context, highlighting the profound demographic and cultural transformation of an overlooked immigrant hub. Drawing on interviews, observations, fieldwork, census data, and traditional and new media, Delerme reveals the important role of real estate developers in attracting Puerto Ricans—some of the first Spanish-speaking immigrants in the region—to Central Florida in the 1970s. She traces how language became a way of racializing and segregating Latino communities, leading to the growth of suburban ethnic enclaves. She documents not only the tensions between Latinos and non-Latinos, but also the class-based distinctions that cause dissent within the Latino population. Arguing that Latino migrants are complicating racial categorizations and challenging the deep-rooted Black-white binary that has long prevailed in the American South, Latino Orlando breaks down stereotypes of neighborhood decline and urban poverty and illustrates the diversity of Latinos in the region.

de Gregory Mixon

212,00€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 In Show Thyself a Man, Gregory Mixon explores the ways African Americans in postbellum Georgia used the militia as a vehicle to secure full citizenship, respect, and a more stable place in society. As citizen-soldiers, black men were empowered to get involved in politics, secure their own financial independence, and publicly commemorate black freedom with celebrations such as Emancipation Day.White Georgians, however, used the militia as a different symbol of freedom--to ensure the postwar white right to rule. This book is a forty-year history of black militia service in Georgia and the determined disbandment process that whites undertook to destroy it, connecting this chapter of the post-emancipation South to the larger history of militia participation by African-descendant people through the Western hemisphere and Latin America.
