520 1 $a"Historian and sociologist James Loewen sets his sights on a shameful facet of twentieth-century American race relations; the thousands of towns and cities across the nation that excluded African Americans and other minority groups after sundown. This type of racial exclusion is often equated with the Jim Crow South but, as Loewen's book demonstrates, the sundown town was, in fact, a Northern invention created by waves of lynching and riots in nearly every state north of the Mason-Dixon Line." "In detail, and relying on extensive first-person testimony and local history, Sundown Towns charts the violent birth and subsequent expansion of these all-white communities. Loewen shows that in many areas a majority of all towns kept out African Americans while many others barred Jews, Chinese Americans, and Native Americans as well. The first book on this important topic, Loewen's work reveals that, despite the passing of civil rights legislation decades ago, many sundown towns and neighborhoods remain intentionally all-white to this day."--BOOK JACKET.
