{"product_id":"9780759104839","title":"The Other Side of Middletown: Exploring Muncie's African American Community","description":"\u003cp\u003ePrompted by the overt omission of Muncie's black community from the famous community study by Robert S. Lynd and Helen Merrell Lynd, Middletown: A Study in Modern American Culture, the authors initiated this project to reveal the unrecorded historical and contemporary life of Middletown, a well-known pseudonym for the Midwestern city of Muncie, Indiana. As a collaboration of community and campus, this book recounts the early efforts of Hurley Goodall to develop a community history and archive that told the story of the African American community, and rectify the representation of small town America as exclusively white. The authors designed and implemented a collaborative ethnographic field project that involved intensive interviews, research, and writing between community organizations, local experts, ethnographers, and teams of college students. This book is a unique model for collaborative research, easily accessible to students. It will be a valuable resource for instructors in anthropology, creative writing, sociology, community research, and African American studies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AltaMira Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47015678116080,"sku":"9780759104839","price":101.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780759104839_p0.jpg?v=1763641994","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780759104839","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
