Description

Using the Atlanta, Birmingham, and Nashville Public Libraries as case studies, The Development of Southern Public Libraries and the African American Quest for Library Access, 1898-1963 argues that public libraries played an integral role in Southern cities' economic and cultural boosterism efforts during the New South and Progressive Eras. First, Southern public libraries helped institutionalize segregation during the early twentieth century by refusing to serve African Americans, or only to a limited degree. Yet, the Progressive Era's emphasis on self-improvement and moral uplift influenced Southern public libraries to the extent that not all embraced total segregation. It even caused Southern public libraries to remain open to the idea of slowly expanding library service to African Americans. Later, libraries' social mission and imperfect commitment to segregation made them prime targets for breaking down the barriers of segregation in the post- World War II era. In this study, Dallas Hanbury concludes that dealing with the complicated and unexpected outcomes of having practiced segregation constituted a difficult and lengthy process for Southern public libraries. Review Hanbury's three closely observed and tightly organized case studies demonstrate once and for all that Southern urban library service to the African American population was at best an ambivalent proposition. The struggle for equal library service, racially integrated or not, lasted far longer than most histories credit, and was from the beginning a cornerstone on which other privileges of citizenship were built. The author's mastery of his material is gracefully dispensed but undeniably present--James V. Carmichael Jr., The University of North Carolina at Greensboro About the Author Dallas Hanbury received his PhD in public history from Middle Tennessee State University.
