{"product_id":"north-of-dixie-mark-speltz-9781606065051","title":"North of Dixie: Civil Rights Photography Beyond the South","description":"The history of the civil rights movement is commonly illustrated with well-known photographs from Birmingham, Montgomery, and Selma--leaving the visual story of the movement outside the South remaining to be told. In \u003ci\u003eNorth of Dixie\u003c\/i\u003e, historian Mark Speltz shines a light past the most iconic photographs of the era to focus on images of everyday activists who fought campaigns against segregation, police brutality, and job discrimination in Philadelphia, Cleveland, Columbus, St. Louis, and Cedar Rapids, and many other cities. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With images by photojournalists, artists, and activists, including Bob Adelman Charles Brittin, Diana Davies, Leonard Freed, Gordon Parks, and Art Shay, \u003ci\u003eNorth of Dixie\u003c\/i\u003e offers a broader and more complex view of the American civil rights movement than is usually presented by the media. \u003ci\u003eNorth of Dixie\u003c\/i\u003e also considers the camera as a tool that served both those in support of the movement and against it. Photographs inspired activists, galvanized public support, and implored local and national politicians to act, but they also provided means of surveillance and repression that were used against movement participants. \u003ci\u003eNorth of Dixie\u003c\/i\u003e brings to light numerous lesser-known images and illuminates the story of the civil rights movement in the American North and West.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Speltz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 160606505X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781606065051\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e J.
