eBook
Journalism and Jim Crow
2021
Overview
White publishers and editors used their newspapers to build,
nurture, and protect white supremacy across the South in the
decades after the Civil War. At the same time, a vibrant Black
press fought to disrupt these efforts and force the United States
to live up to its democratic ideals. Journalism and Jim
Crow centers the press as a crucial political actor shaping
the rise of the Jim Crow South. The contributors explore the
leading role of the white press in constructing an anti-democratic
society by promoting and supporting not only lynching and convict
labor but also coordinated campaigns of violence and fraud that
disenfranchised Black voters. They also examine the Black press's
parallel fight for a multiracial democracy of equality, justice,
and opportunity for all-a losing battle with tragic consequences
for the American experiment.
Original and revelatory, Journalism and Jim Crow opens
up new ways of thinking about the complicated relationship between
journalism and power in American democracy.
