Cosmopolitanism as Concealment: The Dynamo of Dixie during Jim Crow, 1890–1968 (original) (raw)

2018

Abstract

<p>Chapter 3 continues this analysis through the 'Jim Crow' and Civil Rights eras. The chapter reveals critical double standards with respect to city planning and cultural development in Chattanooga; contradictions and inequalities that persist today. It also argues the historical conceptualization of black culture and community development as antithetical to urban progress was promulgated during and after the Reconstruction Period so that whites had a rationale to justify their ongoing subjugation and exploitation of Black labor across all areas of the Dynamo of Dixie's rapidly expanding local economy. The long history of de facto and de jure Jim Crow laws and structural inequalities explored in this chapter are testament to these legacies of oppression.</p>
