The fullest account to date of African American young people in a
segregated city Coming of Age in Jim Crow DC offers a complex
narrative of the everyday lives of black young people in a
racially, spatially, economically, and politically restricted
Washington, DC, during the 1930s. In contrast to the ways in which
young people have been portrayed by researchers, policy makers, law
enforcement, and the media, Paula C. Austin draws on previously
unstudied archival material to present black poor and working class
young people as thinkers, theorists, critics, and commentators as
they reckon with the boundaries imposed on them in a Jim Crow city
that was also the American emblem of equality. The narratives at
the center of this book provide a different understanding of black
urban life in the early twentieth century, showing that ordinary
people were expert at navigating around the limitations imposed by
the District of Columbia's racially segregated politics. Coming of
Age in Jim Crow DC is a fresh take on the New Negro movement, and a
vital contribution to the history of race in America.
