{"product_id":"charleston-in-black-and-white-steve-estes-9781469645506","title":"Charleston in Black and White: Race and Power in the South after the Civil Rights Movement","description":"Once one of the wealthiest cities in America, Charleston, South Carolina, established a society built on the racial hierarchies of slavery and segregation. By the 1970s, the legal structures behind these racial divisions had broken down and the wealth built upon them faded. Like many southern cities, Charleston had to construct a new public image. In this important book, Steve Estes chronicles the rise and fall of black political empowerment and examines the ways Charleston responded to the civil rights movement, embracing some changes and resisting others.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBased on detailed archival research and more than fifty oral history interviews, \u003ci\u003eCharleston in Black and White\u003c\/i\u003e addresses the complex roles played not only by race but also by politics, labor relations, criminal justice, education, religion, tourism, economics, and the military in shaping a modern southern city. Despite the advances and opportunities that have come to the city since the 1960s, Charleston (like much of the South) has not fully reckoned with its troubled racial past, which still influences the present and will continue to shape the future. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Steve Estes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1469645505\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781469645506\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of North Carolina Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.76lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.48h x 7.76w x 0.55d","brand":"Steve Estes","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43935453184255,"sku":"9781469645506","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_dfea2c74-6fd6-4903-9f79-0c507f134117.jpg?v=1681419886","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/charleston-in-black-and-white-steve-estes-9781469645506","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
