Not Free, Not for All - Public Libraries in the Age of Jim Crow

Informationen zum Autor Cheryl Knott is associate professor in the School of Information at the University of Arizona, Tucson. Klappentext While scholars have examined and continue to uncover the history of school segregation, there has been much less research published on the segregation of public libraries in the Jim Crow South. Cheryl Knott traces the establishment, growth, and eventual demise of separate public libraries for African Americans in the South, disrupting the popular image of the American public library as historically welcoming readers from all walks of life.
