{"product_id":"9781570034947","title":"South Carolina Negroes, 1877-1900","description":"\u003cb\u003eThe history of African Americans in South Carolina after Reconstruction and before Jim Crow\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirst published in 1952, \u003ci\u003eSouth Carolina Negroes, 1877–1900\u003c\/i\u003e rediscovers a time and a people nearly erased from public memory. In this pathbreaking book, George B. Tindall turns to the period after Reconstruction before a tide of reaction imposed a new system of controls on the black population of the state. He examines the progress and achievements, along with the frustrations, of South Carolina's African Americans in politics, education, labor, and various aspects of social life during the short decades before segregation became the law and custom of the land. Chronicling the evolution of Jim Crow white supremacy, the book originally appeared on the eve of the Civil Rights movement when the nation's system of disfranchisement, segregation, and economic oppression was coming under increasing criticism and attack.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlong with Vernon L. Wharton's \u003ci\u003eThe Negro in Mississippi, 1865–1890\u003c\/i\u003e (1947) which also shed new light on the period after Reconstruction, Tindall's treatise served as an important source for C. Vann Woodward's influential \u003ci\u003eThe Strange Career of Jim Crow\u003c\/i\u003e (1955). \u003ci\u003eSouth Carolina Negroes\u003c\/i\u003e now reappears fifty years later in an environment of reaction against the Civil Rights movement, a a situation that parallels in many ways the reaction against Reconstruction a century earlier. A new introduction by Tindall reviews the book's origins and its place in the literature of Southern and black history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of South Carolina Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47056824860912,"sku":"9781570034947","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781570034947_p0.jpg?v=1763793752","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781570034947","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
