The victorious end to the first World War offered hope to African
Americans who had fought for freedom abroad and hoped to find it at
home. In this new work, historian Mark R. Schneider analyzes the
dynamic 1920s that saw the enormous migration of African Americans
to Northern urban centers and the formation of important African
American religious, social and economic institutions. Yet, even
with considerable efforts to promote civil rights and advancements
in the arts, many African Americans in the rural south continued to
live under conditions unchanged from a century before. African
Americans in the Jazz Age recounts the history of this turbulent
era, paying particular attention to the ways in which African
Americans actively challenged Jim Crow and firmly expressed pride
in their heritage. Supplemented by primary sources, this work
serves as an ideal introduction to this critical period in U.S.
history and allows students to examine the issues first-hand and
draw their own conclusions.
