{"product_id":"the-baltimore-afro-american-hayward-farrar-9780313305177","title":"The Baltimore Afro-American: 1892-1950","description":"Traces the development of the Baltimore \u003ci\u003eAfro-American\u003c\/i\u003e, one of America's leading black newspapers, from its founding in 1892 to the dawn of the Civil Rights Era in 1950. It focuses on the \u003ci\u003eAfro-American\u003c\/i\u003e's coverage of events and issues affecting Baltimore's and the nation's black communities, particularly its crusades for racial reform in the first half of the 20th century. Farrar examines how the \u003ci\u003eAfro-American\u003c\/i\u003e grew and prospered as a newspaper and as a business. How and why the \u003ci\u003eAfro-American\u003c\/i\u003e conducted its news and editorial crusades for a powerful local and national black community free of racial disabilities is discussed as well. He also evaluates whether or not the \u003ci\u003eAfro-American\u003c\/i\u003e succeeded or failed in its racial justice campaigns and to what extent these campaigns made a difference in the local and national black communities' struggle for racial equity. He asserts that the \u003ci\u003eAfro-American\u003c\/i\u003e was a black middle-class institution that wanted to shape its community according to bourgeois values, but it also broke ground by looking at class issues in the early 20th-century black community.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hayward Farrar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 031330517X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780313305177\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/21\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.08lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.35h x 6.17w x 0.99d","brand":"Hayward Farrar","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47087457992959,"sku":"9780313305177","price":139.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0be3d7f2-76f0-476c-996f-6bacd2ae8db6.jpg?v=1753849944","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-baltimore-afro-american-hayward-farrar-9780313305177","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
