After Emancipation: Racism and Resistance at the University of Virginia
English
Assessing a universitys legacy in the age of segregation
This anthology reckons with the University of Virginias post-emancipation history of racial exploitation. Its fifteen essays highlight the many forms of marginalization and domination at Virginias once all-white flagship university to uncover the patriarchal, nativist, and elitist assumptions that shaped university culture through the late nineteenth century and well into the twentieth. Including community responses ranging from personal reflections to interviews with local leaders to poems, this accessible volume will be essential reading for anyone with ties to UVA or to Charlottesville, as well as for anyone concerned with the legacy of slavery and segregation in Americas universities.
