About This Item
Chapel Hill:: University of North Carolina Press, , (1993). Hardcover first edition -. Fine in fine dust jacket (appears unread.). First printing. Although the American settlement house movement was influential in helping immigrants adjust to life in American cities, when African Americans began migrating from the rural South to cities in the North "most houses failed to redirect their efforts toward their new neighbors. Nationally, the movement did not take a concerted stand on the issue of race until after World War II. . . [Instead] Lasch-Quinn recasts the traditional definitions, periods, and regional divisions of settlement work and uncovers a vast settlement movement among African Americans. By placing community work conducted by the YWCA, black women's clubs, religious missions, southern industrial schools, and other organizations within the settlement tradition, she highlights their significance . . . Her analysis fundamentally revises our understanding of the role that race has played in American social reform." Illustrated with photographs. Includes extensive notes, bibliography and index. xii, 225 pp.
