Color of Race in America, 1900-1940

Klappentext With the social change brought on by the Great Migration of African Americans into the urban northeast after the Great War came the surge of a biracial sensibility that made America different from other Western nations. How white and black people thought about race and how both groups understood and attempted to define and control the demographic transformation are the subjects of this new book by a rising star in American history. Zusammenfassung Guterl details how white and black people thought about race and how both groups understood and attempted to control the demographic transformation. An account of the roiling environment that witnessed a shift from the multiplicity of white races to biracialism’s arrival, this book focuses on four representative spokesmen for the transforming age.
