About Growing Up Jim Crow: How Black And White Southern
Review Explores how black and white southern children developed a sense of racial identity and learned to carry out their expected roles in southern society.--Southwestern Historical Society Product Description In the segregated South of the early twentieth century, unwritten rules guided every aspect of individual behavior, from how blacks and whites stood, sat, ate, drank, walked, and talked to whether they made eye contact with one another. Jennifer Ritterhouse asks how children learned this racial etiquette, which was sustained by coercion and the threat of violence. More broadly, she asks how individuals developed racial self-consciousness. From the Inside Flap Ritterhouse asks how southern black and white children in the early 20th century learned the unwritten rules that guided every aspect of individual behavior, from how blacks and whites stood, sat, ate, drank, walked, and talked to whether they made eye contact with one another. More broadly, she asks how individuals developed racial self-consciousness. Exploring relationships between public and private and between segregation, racial etiquette, and racial violence, Ritterhouse sheds new light on tradition and change in the South and the meanings of segregation within southern culture.
