Aprašymas

Arkansas, 1943. The Deep South during the heart of Jim Crow-era segregation. A Japanese-American person boards a bus, and immediately is faced with a dilemma. Not white. Not black. Where to sit?. By elucidating the experience of interstitial ethnic groups such as Mexican, Asian, and Native AmericansOCogroups that are held to be neither black nor whiteOCoLeslie Bow explores how the color line accommodatedOCoor refused to accommodateOCoOC otherOCO ethnicities within a binary racial system. Analyzing pre- and post-1954 American literature, film, autobiography, government documents, ethnography, photographs, and popular culture, Bow investigates the ways in which racially OC in-betweenOCO people and communities were brought to heel within the SouthOCOs prevailing cultural logic, while locating the interstitial as a site of cultural anxiety and negotiation. Spanning the pre- to the post- segregation eras, Partly Colored traces the compelling history of OC third raceOCO individuals in the U.S. South, and in the process forces us to contend with the multiracial panorama that constitutes American culture and history."
