Remembering Jim Crow  the groundbreaking sequel to Remembering Slavery  is an extraordinary opportunity to read and hear the voices of black southerners who were firsthand witnesses to one of the most heartbreaking and troubling chapters in Americas history. Based on interviews collected by the Behind the Veil project at Duke Universitys Center for Documentary Studies  this remarkable book-and-CD set presents for the first time the most extensive oral history ever recorded of African American life in the racially segregated South. In vivid  compelling stories  men and women from all walks of life tell how their most ordinary activities were subjected to profound and unrelenting racial oppressionin the workplace  on street corners  and above all in the public facilities and institutions that systematically demeaned  disenfranchised  and disempowered black people  condemning them to second-class citizenship. At the same time  Remembering Jim Crow is a testament to how black southerners fought back against the system  raising children  building churches and schools  running businesses  and struggling for respect in a society that denied them the most basic rights. The result is a powerful story of survival enriched by vivid memories of individual  family  and community triumphs and tragedies. Remembering Jim Crow is accompanied by two one-hour compact discs of the companion radio documentary produced by American RadioWorks. A transcript of the audio programs is included in the books appendix  and the book is illustrated with fifty rare segregation-era photographs collected from African American families who participated in the oral history project. Boxed set: hardcover book with 2 one-hour compact discs; 50 black-and-white photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45646900527157,"sku":"ByrdShop_1565846974","price":29.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781565846975.jpg?v=1781680894","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/remembering-jim-crow-african-americans-tell-about-life-in-the-segregated-south-9781565846975","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
