Exploiting early class divisions, black working-class activists staged a series of successful protests that helped make northern leisure spaces a critical battleground in a larger debate about racial equality. While some scholars emphasise the triumph of black consumer activism with defeating segregation, Goldberg argues that the various consumer ideologies that first surfaced in northern leisure spaces during the Reconstruction era contained desegregation efforts and prolonged Jim Crow.Reconstructing America (Series)African AmericansNew JerseyAtlantic CoastHistorySegregationNew JerseyAtlantic CoastHistoryRacismNew JerseyAtlantic CoastHistoryAtlantic Coast (N.J.)Race relationsAtlantic Coast (N.J.)HistoryAfrican AmericansHistory.SegregationHistory.RacismHistory.305.8009749Goldberg David E.14969MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910154642203321The retreats of Reconstruction2987330UNINA
