The Strange Career of Jim Crow
Woodward, C. Vann First Published: 1955
Pages: 245pp
Resource Type: Book
This book offers a clear and illuminating analysis of the history of Jim Crow laws, presenting evidence that segregation in the South dated only to the 1890s. Woodward convincingly shows that, even under slavery, the two races had not been divided as they were under the Jim Crow laws of the 1890s. In fact, during Reconstruction, there was considerable economic and political mixing of the races. The segregating of the races was a relative new development in the region.
