First, Southern public libraries helped institutionalize segregation during the early twentieth century by refusing to serve African Americans, or only to a limited degree. Yet, the Progressive Era’s emphasis on self-improvement and moral uplift influenced Southern public libraries to the extent that not all embraced total segregation. It even caused Southern public libraries to remain open to the idea of slowly expanding library service to African Americans. Later, libraries’ social mission and imperfect commitment to segregation made them prime targets for breaking down the barriers of segregation in the post- World War II era. In this study, Dallas Hanbury concludes that dealing with the complicated and unexpected outcomes of having practiced segregation constituted a difficult and lengthy process for Southern public libraries.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 223mmItem Length: 154mmItem Width: 11mmItem Weight: 304gAuthor: Dallas HanburyGenre: HistoryBook Series: New Studies in Southern HistoryRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
