{"product_id":"living-as-equals-phyllis-palmer-9780826515964","title":"Living as Equals: How Three White Communities Struggled to Make Interracial Connections During the Civil Rights Era","description":"Using interviews with leaders and participants, as well as historical archives, the author documents three interracial sites where white Americans put themselves into unprecedented relationships with African Americans, Mexican Americans, and Asian Americans. In teen summer camps in the New York City and Los Angeles areas, students from largely segregated schools worked and played together; in Washington, DC, families fought blockbusting and white flight to build an integrated neighborhood; and in San Antonio, white community activists joined in coalition with Mexican American groups to advocate for power in a city government monopolized by Anglos. Women often took the lead in organizations that were upsetting patterns of men's protective authority at the same time as white people's racial dominance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Phyllis Palmer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0826515967\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780826515964\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vanderbilt University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/11\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 318\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.10w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChronicle of Higher Education\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/11\/2008 pg. 16\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2009","brand":"Phyllis Palmer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48453418713343,"sku":"9780826515964","price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d83f0d0b-3922-456c-aa07-20d52e020c3e.jpg?v=1777300112","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/living-as-equals-phyllis-palmer-9780826515964","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
