Maintaining Segregation

Explores how black and white children in the early twentieth-century South learned about segregation in their homes, schools, and churches. As public displays of racial violence declined in the 1920s, a culture of silence developed around segregation, serving to forestall, absorb, and deflect individual challenges to the racial hierarchy.

In Mentinerea segregarii, LeeAnn G. Reynolds exploreaza modul in care copiii negri si albi de la inceputul secolului al XX-lea din Sud au aflat despre segregare in casele, scolile si bisericile lor.
