A timely paperback reissue of the stunning, prize-winning portrait
of the Jim Crow South through unique first-person accounts Praised
as "viscerally powerful" (Publishers Weekly), this remarkable work
of oral history captures the searing experience of the Jim Crow
years through first-person interviews carefully collected by
researchers at Duke University's Behind the Veil project. Newly
relevant today as Americans reckon with the legacies of slavery and
strive for racial equality, Remembering Jim Crow provides vivid,
compelling accounts by men and women from all walks of life, who
tell how their day-to-day lives were subjected to profound and
unrelenting racial oppression. "A shivering dose of reality and
inspiring stories of everyday resistance" (Library Journal),
Remembering Jim Crow is a testament to how Black Southerners fought
back against the system, raising children, building churches and
schools, running businesses, and struggling for respect in a
society that denied them the most basic rights. Collectively, these
narratives illuminate individual and community survival and tell a
powerful story of the American past that is crucial for us to
remember as we grapple with Jim Crow's legacies in the present.
