"Coming of Age in Jim Crow DC - Navigating the Politics of Everyday Life" (Unabridged) - это комплексное повествование о повседневной жизни чернокожей молодежи в расово, пространственно, экономически и политически ограниченном Вашингтоне, округ Колумбия, в 1930-х годах. В отличие от способов, которыми молодые люди были изображены исследователями, политиками, правоохранительными органами и СМИ, Паула С. Остин, опираясь на ранее неизученные архивные материалы, представляет черных бедных и работающих молодых людей как мыслителей, теоретиков, критиков и комментаторов, которые считывают границы, наложенные на них в городе, где царило расовое неравенство, символизирующим американскую идею равенства. Рассказы, занимающие центральное место в этой книге, предлагают иное понимание чернокожей городской жизни в начале двадцатого века, показывая, что обычные люди были экспертами в обходе ограничений, наложенных политикой расовой сегрегации округа Колумбия. "Coming of Age in Jim Crow DC" - это новый взгляд на движение "Новый Негро" и важный вклад в историю расовых отношений в Америке.
This unabridged overview of daily life includes some previously undiscovered perspectives for racial minority young adults living in Washington, D.C. during the period of Jim Crow restrictions. From perspectives expanding upon the author’s previous works examining the New Negro Youth Movement during this time period, this volume offers an holistic graphic visualization of the layered experiences of a subset of minority youths in a partisan setting. Prepared with new, authentic archival materials, Austin transforms our conceptions of the Black experience in the Nation’s Capital adding to our understanding of how minority individuals framed their existence vs. the state repressing their presence within the historical setting of the era. This resource presents a unique portal into social, economic, civil, and moral quandaries such as being among the nation’s fledgling leaders during revolutionary moments while being handicapped by race-based discrimination; a window into how individuals, regardless of their own perceived status, sought to live potentially courageous lives through the Plexiglass of their political marketplace.

Описание книги от Paula Austin
This overview offers a complex narrative of the everyday lives of black young people in a racially, spatially, economically, and politically restricted Washington, DC during the 1930s. In contrast to the ways in which young people have been portrayed by researchers, policymakers, law enforcement, and the media, Paula C. Austin draws on previously unstudied archival material to present black poor and working-class young people as thinkers, theorists, critics, and commentators as they reckon with the boundaries imposed on them in a Jim Crow city that was also the American emblem of equality. The narratives at the center of this book provide a different understanding of black urban life in the early twentieth century, showing that ordinary people were experts at navigating around the limitations imposed by the District of Columbia's racially segregated politics. Coming of Age in Jim Crow DC is a fresh take on the New Negro movement and a vital contribution to the history of race in America.
