Woodward, C. Vann
Year First Published: {55363 The Strange Career of Jim Crow STRANGE CAREER OF JIM CROW Woodward, C. Vann This book offers a clear and illuminating analysis of the history of Jim Crow laws, presenting evidence that segregation in the South dated only to the 1890s. Woodward convincingly shows that, even under slavery, the two races had not been divided as they were under the Jim Crow laws of the 1890s. In fact, during Reconstruction, there was considerable economic and political mixing of the races. The segregating of the races was a relative new development in the region. 1955 245pp BC55363-StrangeJimCrow.jpg B Book CX24382 0 false true false CX24382.htm [0xc0004869f0 0xc00154d290 0xc001d86960] Cx}Pages: 245pp Resource Type: Book Cx Number: CX24382 This book offers a clear and illuminating analysis of the history of Jim Crow laws, presenting evidence that segregation in the South dated only to the 1890s.
