Inhaltsangabe

An intra-group study examining the impact of history, memory, space, and the concept of belonging on the social structure of a Southern, small-town, Black community. It uses the 1960s Civil Rights Movement as the point from which it forms a critique of the culture of social relations among Blacks.

Críticas

'The involvement of the black community in a southern town during the height of the civil rights movement of the 1960s may not seem like the classic setting for an ethnography but Thomas-Houston demonstrates that in deft hands anthropological analysis is not constrained by time or place.' William Arens, Stony Brook University
