Journal Article
Circulating Jim Crow: The Saturday Evening Post and the War Against Black Modernity
2024
Overview
The magazine's presentation of Jim Crow ideology as \"an organic phenomenon rather than as a consciously developed social structure predicated on inequality, dehumanization, and theft\" was vigorously contested by contemporary Black American writers and readers of the day, but it has escaped serious critical attention until now (7). Lorimer's racist project took globalist form in Cohen's series of stories, published between 1924 and 1930, featuring a globetrotting race film company, the Midnight Motion Picture Company. Circulating Jim Crow is a brilliant, original book, which formulates a supple theoretical framework for interpreting the \"shadow\" cast by white supremacist cultures remade for the modern era of consumerism, airplane travel, cinema, and mass circulation periodicals. \" (https://scalar.usc.edu/works/the-space-between-literature-and-culture-1914- 1945/vol20_2024_gasston_review_maher?path=vol20_2024_contents)
