This disquieting yet important book describes the injustices,
humiliations, and brutalities inflicted on African Americans in a
racist culture that was created-and protected-by the forces of law
and order. Jim Crow Laws presents the history of the discriminatory
laws that segregated people by race in the American South from the
end of the Civil War through passage of the 1965 Civil Rights Act.
To paint a true picture of these deplorable restrictions, this book
provides a detailed analysis of the creation, defense,
justification, and fight against the Jim Crow system. Among the
subjects covered here are the origins of legal inequality for
African Americans in the aftermath of the Civil War; the role of
the U.S. Supreme Court in weakening constitutional protections
against discrimination established in the 13th, 14th, and 15th
Amendments; the white justification of segregation; and the extreme
brutality of Jim Crow's defenders. Equally important, readers will
learn about the psychological, political, social, and economic
costs endured by the victims of Jim Crow inequality, as well as
about the motivations, rejections, and successes faced by those who
stood against these abominations. Primary source documents,
including Supreme Court decisions and W.E.B DuBois's 1947
"Statement on the Denial of Human Rights to Minorities in the Case
of Citizens of Negro Descent in the United States of America and an
Appeal to the United Nations for Redress" A chronology of events
concerning the legalization of discrimination in the era of Jim
Crow, 1865-1965 A glossary of key terms related to Jim Crow laws,
court decisions, and culture An annotated bibliography of
significant books from history, sociology, psychology, and
political science relating to Jim Crow
