Download or read book Segregation in the New South written by Carl V. Harris and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2022-11-09 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carl V. Harris’s Segregation in the New South, completed and edited by W. Elliot Brownlee, explores the rise of racial exclusion in late nineteenth-century Birmingham, Alabama. In the 1870s, African Americans in this crucial southern industrial city were eager to exploit the disarray of slavery’s old racial lines, assert their new autonomy, and advance toward full equality. However, most southern whites worked to restore the restrictive racial lines of the antebellum South or invent new ones that would guarantee the subordination of Black residents. From Birmingham’s founding in 1871, color lines divided the city, and as its people strove to erase the lines or fortify them, they shaped their futures in fateful ways. Social segregation is at the center of Harris’s history. He shows that from the beginning of Reconstruction southern whites engaged in a comprehensive program of assigning social dishonor to African Americans—the same kind of dishonor that whites of the Old South had imposed on Black people while enslaving them. In the process, southern whites engaged in constructing the meaning of race in the New South.

When you're standing in an airplane door with a parachute strapped to your back, either close your eyes and jump, or get out of the way and sit. Prudence had been thinking about that ever since her sister's visit. She was tired of sitting. She'd been tired of it for a long time. Prudence Both of Sam's hands flew to her cheeks. "Oh my!" she gasped. "Oh my!" And then came the giggles. She extended both arms outward like a wooden scarecrow and began to twirl. Around and around, not too fast at first, gaining momentum. Love! There was no doubt about it. They were going to fall in love. Samantha Fifteen women. Fifteen stories. Some happy. Some sad. Some surprisingly weird.

Download or read book Theorizing Bioarchaeology written by Pamela L. Geller and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-08-01 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bioarchaeology has relied on Darwinian perspectives and biocultural models to communicate information about the lives of past peoples. This book demonstrates how further theoretical expansion—a thoughtful engagement with critical social theorizing—can contribute insightful and more ethical outcomes. To do so, it focuses on social theoretical concepts of pertinence to bioarchaeological studies: habitus, the normal, intersectionality, necropolitics, and bioethos. These concepts can deepen study of plasticity, disease, gender, violence, and race and ethnicity, as well as advance the field’s decolonization efforts. This book also works to overcome the challenges presented by dense social theorizing, which has paid little attention to real bodies. It historicizes, explains, and adapts concepts, as well as discusses archaeological, historic, and contemporary case studies from around the world. Theorizing Bioarchaeology is intended for individuals who may have initially dismissed social theorizing as postmodern but now acknowledge this characterization as oversimplified. It is for readers who foster curiosity about bioarchaeology’s contradictions and common sense. The ideas contained in these pages may also be of use to students who know that it is naive at best and myopic at worst to presume data derived from bodies speak for themselves.
