Who designates such areas, who determines their uses, and who gets to use them? Today's \"Occupy\" movement has brought widespread attention to these issues, but Robert Cassanello demonstrates that such questions have been part of urban life for more than a century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRough-and-tumble nineteenth-century Jacksonville serves as a springboard to his exploration of social transformation in Florida and the South. When free black men in the city first began to vote, conservative lawmakers pushed blacks from white public spaces in order to make blacks voiceless--invisible--in the public square and thus making the public sphere a white domain. The response was a black counterpublic that at times flourished clandestinely and at other times challenged racism in the public sphere.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFortified by the theories of Henri Lefebvre, David Harvey, and J?gen Habermas, this is the first book to focus on the tumultuous emergence of the African American working class in Jacksonville between Reconstruction and the 1920s. Cassanello brings to light many of the reasons Jacksonville, like Birmingham, Alabama, and other cities throughout the South, continues to struggle with its contentious racial past.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Cassanello\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0813062195\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780813062198\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of Florida\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/05\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 206\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.68lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.47d","brand":"Robert Cassanello","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44059813118207,"sku":"9780813062198","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cfd26222-27e4-4998-8fff-0a7f51e3d50c.jpg?v=1685060490","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/to-render-invisible-robert-cassanello-9780813062198","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
