The Education of Blacks in the South, 1860-1935
Author: James D. Anderson
Publisher: Univ of North Carolina Press
ISBN: 0807898880
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 383
Book Description
James Anderson critically reinterprets the history of southern black education from Reconstruction to the Great Depression. By placing black schooling within a political, cultural, and economic context, he offers fresh insights into black commitment to education, the peculiar significance of Tuskegee Institute, and the conflicting goals of various philanthropic groups, among other matters. Initially, ex-slaves attempted to create an educational system that would support and extend their emancipation, but their children were pushed into a system of industrial education that presupposed black political and economic subordination. This conception of education and social order--supported by northern industrial philanthropists, some black educators, and most southern school officials--conflicted with the aspirations of ex-slaves and their descendants, resulting at the turn of the century in a bitter national debate over the purposes of black education. Because blacks lacked economic and political power, white elites were able to control the structure and content of black elementary, secondary, normal, and college education during the first third of the twentieth century. Nonetheless, blacks persisted in their struggle to develop an educational system in accordance with their own needs and desires.

The New Negro in the Old South
Author: Gabriel A. Briggs
Publisher: Rutgers University Press
ISBN: 0813574803
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 292
Book Description
Standard narratives of early twentieth-century African American history credit the Great Migration of southern blacks to northern metropolises for the emergence of the New Negro, an educated, upwardly mobile sophisticate very different from his forebears. Yet this conventional history overlooks the cultural accomplishments of an earlier generation, in the black communities that flourished within southern cities immediately after Reconstruction. In this groundbreaking historical study, Gabriel A. Briggs makes the compelling case that the New Negro first emerged long before the Great Migration to the North. The New Negro in the Old South reconstructs the vibrant black community that developed in Nashville after the Civil War, demonstrating how it played a pivotal role in shaping the economic, intellectual, social, and political lives of African Americans in subsequent decades. Drawing from extensive archival research, Briggs investigates what made Nashville so unique and reveals how it served as a formative environment for major black intellectuals like Sutton Griggs and W.E.B. Du Bois. The New Negro in the Old South makes the past come alive as it vividly recounts little-remembered episodes in black history, from the migration of Colored Infantry veterans in the late 1860s to the Fisk University protests of 1925. Along the way, it gives readers a new appreciation for the sophistication, determination, and bravery of African Americans in the decades between the Civil War and the Harlem Renaissance.

The Ideal Woman
Author: Amanda Feyerbend
Publisher: Amanda Feyerbend
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 332
Book Description
My name is Ashley Williams and my husband is dead. When the brutalized corpse of an unidentified man is found off the shoulder of a Georgia highway, Detective Ryan Quinn and FBI Agent Donovan Navito team up to catch the madman working his way across the southeast, choosing victims at random. I thought we had the perfect life, quiet and serene, but that was a charade. Each man or woman is brutally tortured before being granted mercy in death. The only thing linking the victims? The murderer’s calling card—a bite labeling the kills as his own. A chance discovery draws me down an ever-spiraling path of destruction. Something about their newest victim sets him apart from the rest. Is this man the key to unraveling the mystery and ending this horrifying spree? In a race for answers, their stories will intertwine and test the limits of the human spirit. Could you turn your back once the truth is staring you in the face? I don’t know if I can… ~ ~ ~ Author's Notes: This story is intended for adult audiences. It may contain mature language, depictions of violence, and sexual scenarios.

Freedwomen and the Freedmen's Bureau
Author: Mary Farmer-Kaiser
Publisher: Fordham Univ Press
ISBN: 0823232115
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 294
Book Description
Established by congress in early 1865, the Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen, and Abandoned Lands--more commonly known as "the Freedmen's Bureau"--assumed the Herculean task of overseeing the transition from slavery to freedom in the post-Civil War South. Although it was called the Freedmen's Bureau, the agency profoundly affected African-American women. Until now remarkably little has been written about the relationship between black women and this federal government agency. As Mary Farmer-Kaiser clearly demonstrates in this revealing work, by failing to recognize freedwomen as active agents of change and overlooking the gendered assumptions at work in Bureau efforts, scholars have ultimately failed to understand fully the Bureau's relationships with freedwomen, freedmen, and black communities in this pivotal era of American history.
