Ethnic Heritage in Mississippi
ISBN: 9781604733884 / Angielski / Miękka / 226 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Most portraits of Mississippi's people seem to be done in black and white. Yet only a moment's reflection and observation will indicate the inadequacy of such a limited palette. The first to populate this region were Native Americans-Choctaw, Chickasaw, Natchez, and others in even earlier periods. The predominant white Anglo-Scots-Irish population is enlivened by other European groups-colonial French and Spanish, later Yugoslavians, Italians-and the Mediterranean Greeks and Lebanese. Africans came from southern states to the east as well as through New Orleans from the Caribbean and many... Most portraits of Mississippi's people seem to be done in black and white.

ISBN: 9780415564076 / Angielski / Twarda / 214 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Taiwan has been hailed as a successful case of democratization.

Colored Property: State Policy and White Racial Politics in Suburban America
ISBN: 9780226262765 / Angielski / Miękka / 526 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Northern whites in the post-World War II era began to support the principle of civil rights, so why did many of them continue to oppose racial integration in their communities? Challenging conventional wisdom about the growth, prosperity, and racial exclusivity of American suburbs, David M. P. Freund argues that previous attempts to answer this question have overlooked a change in the racial thinking of whites and the role of suburban politics in effecting this change. In "Colored Property," he shows how federal intervention spurred a dramatic shift in the language and logic of residential...

ISBN: 9780271035567 / Angielski / Miękka / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The civil rights movement of the 1960s improved the political and legal status of African Americans, but the quest for equality in employment and economic well-being has lagged behind. Blacks are more than twice as likely as whites to be employed in lower-paying service jobs or to be unemployed, are three times as likely to live in poverty, and have a median household income barely half of that for white households. What accounts for these disparities, and what possibilities are there for overcoming obstacles to black economic progress? This book seeks answers to these questions through a...

In 1857, Alexina Morrison, a slave in Louisiana, ran away from her master and surrendered herself to the parish jail for protection. Blue-eyed and blond, Morrison successfully convinced white society that she was one of them. When she sued for her freedom, witnesses assured the jury that she was white, and that they would have known if she had a drop of African blood.

And if there was, what happened to it? In Troubling the Waters, Cheryl Greenberg answers these questions more definitively than they have ever been answered before, drawing the richest portrait yet of what was less an alliance than a tumultuous political engagement--but one that energized the civil rights revolution, shaped the agenda of liberalism, and affected the course of American politics as a whole. Drawing on extensive new research in the archives of organizations such as the NAACP and the... Was there ever really a black-Jewish alliance in twentieth-century America?
