The 1940s and 1950s were decades of far-reaching change and
mobilization in the United States. White culture strove to make
nonwhites invisible with segregation and discrimination as Southern
blacks continued the Great Migration north and the government
brought in Mexican labor via the Bracero Program to take up labor
slack while U.S. troops were overseas. The rise of the civil rights
movement and Brown v. Board of Education, which struck down
segregation in schools 1954, were some results. This volume is THE
content-rich source in a desirable decade-by-decade organization to
help students and general readers understand the crucial race
relations of the war years into the Cold War. Race Relations in the
United States, 1940-1960 provides comprehensive reference coverage
of the key events, influential voices, race relations by group,
legislation, media influences, cultural output, and theories of
inter-group interactions. The volume covers two decades with a
standard format coverage per decade, including Timeline, Overview,
Key Events, Voices of the Decade, Race Relations by Group, Law and
Government, Media and Mass Communications, Cultural Scene,
Influential Theories and Views of Race Relations, Resource Guide.

bulk of the coverage is topical essays, written in a clear,
encyclopedic style. Historical photos, a selected bibliography, and
index complement the text.
