A Nation Under Our Feet: Black Political Struggles in the Rural South from Slavery to TheGreat Migration By Steven Hahn
2003 | 609 Pages | ISBN: 0674011694 | PDF | 105 MB
This is the epic story of how African-Americans, in the six decades following slavery, transformed themselves into a political people - an embryonic black nation. As Steven Hahn demonstrates, rural African-Americans were central political actors in the great events of disunion, emancipation and nation-building. At the same time, Hahn asks us to think in more expansive ways about the nature and boundaries of politics and political practice. this book explores the political relations and sensibilities that developed under slavery and shows how they set the stage for grassroots mobilization. Hahn introduces us to local leaders, and shows how politcal communities were built, defended and rebuilt. He also identifies the quest for self-governance as an esential goal of black politics across the rural South, from contests for local power during reconstruction, to emigrationism, biracial electoral alliances, social separatism and, eventually, migration. absorbed and elaborated these earlier struggles, thus linking the first generation of migrants to the urban North with those who remained in the South. He offers a new framework - looking out from slavery - to understand twentieth-century forms of black political consciousness as well as emerging battles for civil rights. It is a powerful story and one that presents an inspiring and troubling perspective on American democracy.
