{"product_id":"raised-up-down-yonder-angela-mcmillan-howell-9781496804464","title":"Raised Up Down Yonder: Growing Up Black in Rural Alabama","description":"Raised Up Down Yonder attempts to shift focus away from why black youth are \"problematic\" to explore what their daily lives really entail. Howell travels to the small community of Hamilton, Alabama, to investigate what it is like for a young black person to grow up in the contemporary rural South. What she finds is that the young people of Hamilton are neither idly passing their time in a stereotypically languid setting, nor are they being corrupted by hip-hop culture and the perils of the urban North, as many pundits suggest. Rather, they are dynamic and diverse young people making their way through the structures that define the twenty-first-century South. Told through the poignant stories of several high school students, Raised Up Down Yonder reveals a group that is often rendered invisible in society. Blended families, football sagas, crunk music, expanding social networks, and a nearby segregated prom are just a few of the fascinating juxtapositions. Angela McMillan Howell is an assistant professor of sociology and anthropology at Morgan State University. Her work has been published in the Journal of African American Studies and Anthropology Now.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Angela McMillan Howell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1496804465\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781496804464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of Mississippi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/24\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 258\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.58d","brand":"Angela McMillan Howell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44054804693247,"sku":"9781496804464","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0021d47f-9c66-47f2-b831-4bceface05d4.jpg?v=1685032095","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/raised-up-down-yonder-angela-mcmillan-howell-9781496804464","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
