{"product_id":"9781410763754","title":"Growing Up African American: Struggling Through the Legacy of Slavery and Jim Crow Segregation","description":"\u003cp\u003eI was born in a small Kentucky town named, “Richmond”. I had no concept of color or cultural differences during the first four years of my life.  \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe one common background of African Americans is our Antebellum Slave heritage. Antebellum Slavery replaced the culture of African people brought into the system with a new aberrant slave culture. Remnants of this culture appear to exist in the modern African American culture due to the continued isolation of the culture during Jim Crow Segregation. I found these remnants were in me.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eI was subjected to many of the negative images of race during my early life in Jim Crow Segregation. Initially my scope of our race, self –perception, and self-definition were affected by the molding of Jim Crow Segregation. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eMy experience again demonstrated to me that self-determination is the best possible scenario for success in life. We can prosper by embracing the positives of the American culture and benefit from the “American Dream”.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eI survived the violence, social and psychological impacts of Jim Crow Segregation. I resisted the social and psychological molding of Jim Crow Segregation therefore; I am not the product of Jim Crow Segregation. I am not perpetuating the legacy of Antebellum Slavery or Jim Crow Segregation in everyday life. I am proud of my heritage. Genetically I am African, Welsh English-Caucasian and Cherokee-Native American. I am an American.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AuthorHouse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47162827407600,"sku":"9781410763754","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781410763754_p0.jpg?v=1763721480","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781410763754","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
