Growing Up Southern (1980)
Author: Robert Cooper
Publisher: The Institute for Southern Studies
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 132
Book Description
"GROWING UP SOUTHERN" ... The words evoke a tide of images, both bitter and sweet: overalls and organdy, hot green fields, cool brown creeks, Grandma's front porch, lengthy and complicated family connections, Mama's fried chicken and biscuits and Granddaddy's cane syrup, "colored" water fountains and "white" ones, church, chores, Dixie, and hot dark dangerous summer nights. Today's Southern children get their biscuits as often from Hardee's as from Mama. On Saturday afternoons they're as likely to cool off in the local shopping mall as in a shady spring-fed swimming hole. But Grandma and Grandpa and Uncle Joe and Aunt Elaine loom large in the lives of today's Southern kids, just as they did in those of earlier generations. The hard work many children still do isn't likely to be acknowledged by their elders; "colored" and "white" labels are less blatant, but they still constrict the futures of this generation's Southern children. Crowing Up Southern explores the continuities and the chasms between the lives of Southern children today and in the past.

Category : Reference
Languages : en
Pages : 916
Book Description
This classic, one-volume reference work now indexes more than 35 journals, both popular and scholarly, representing the rich culture and current history of African Americans. Among the topics treated in each edition of the annual Index are gender issues, literature, education, business, discrimination, health care and the arts. Interviews, obituaries and book and drama reviews are also included. The Index is international in scope, including African countries and regions, but its emphasis is on the extraordinary diversity of the African American experience. Authors, subjects and numerous cross-references are combined in a single, convenient alphabetical arrangement. The Index formerly appeared under the titles "Index to Periodical Articles By and About Blacks, Index to Periodical Articles By and About Negroes" and "Index to Selected Periodicals By and About Negroes." G.K. Hall published a ten-year cumulation of the "Index" covering the years 1950-1959 and began publishing the "Index" on an annual basis in 1961. The volumes from 1961 forward were published in conjunction with The Hallie Q. Brown Memorial Library at Central State University in Wilberforce, Ohio; The New York Public Library's Schomburg Collection of Negro Literature and History also participated during the years 1960-1970.
