Beginning in the 1880s, the economic realities and class dynamics
of popular northern resort towns unsettled prevailing assumptions
about political economy and threatened segregationist practices.
Exploiting early class divisions, black working-class activists
staged a series of successful protests that helped make northern
leisure spaces a critical battleground in a larger debate about
racial equality. While some scholars emphasize the triumph of black
consumer activism with defeating segregation, Goldberg argues that
the various consumer ideologies that first surfaced in northern
leisure spaces during the Reconstruction era contained
desegregation efforts and prolonged Jim Crow. Combining
intellectual, social, and cultural history, The Retreats of
Reconstruction examines how these decisions helped popularize the
doctrine of "separate but equal" and explains why the politics of
consumption is critical to understanding the "long civil rights
movement."
