A Question of Manhood, Volume 2 – A Reader in U.S. Black Men`s History and Masculinity, The 19th Century: From Emancipation to Jim Crow

Autor Darlene Clark Hine, Earnestine L. Jenkins
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 11 iul 2001
A Question of Manhood: A Reader in Black Men's History and Masculinity, is the first anthology of historical studies focused on themes and issues central to the construction of Black masculinities. The editors identified these essays from among several hundred articles published in recent years in leading American history journals and academic periodicals. Volume II picks up where volume I left off, continuing to focus on gender by examining the lives of African American men in the tumultuous period following the Civil War through the end of the nineteenth century. The writings included in volume two cover themes in the lives of black men that touch on leadership, work and the professions, family and community, sports and the military, and the image of black men in the larger society.
