Hardback. Condizione: Very Good. Recreation without Humiliation is the first comprehensive study of Black amusement venues established by Black Americans for Black Americans. Mary Stanton's extensive research on African American amusement parks in America explores not only segregation, class, and social barriers but also the notion of the 'pursuit of happiness' as an inalienable right for all races and classes of people. Inspired by summers spent on Coney Island, where Stanton became curious about the existence of African American amusement parks in America, Stanton's research uncovered more than fifty such venues, most of which operated during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. These were parks, theaters, juke joints, country clubs, summer colonies, baseball diamonds, and arenas. Although these venues provided much needed recreational services to an underserved Black population, many were threatened by whites, and some destroyed by them. Through her study of these sites of recreation, Stanton illuminates the history of African Americans who strove to create and maintain safe and satisfying entertainment despite segregation. In her research, Stanton also found class divisions among Black American entertainment venues. At the pinnacle of Black society in this era were the upper class, who could afford exclusive Black summer cottages and country clubs. General entertainment for Black working-class families consisted of dancing and drinking in juke joints or patronizing small amusement parks, playgrounds, movie theaters, church-sponsored functions, and Black county fairs. African Americans in the twentieth century, especially in the South, transformed segregation into what historian Earl Lewis calls congregation. Congregation implies choice, and this congregation provided space and support for establishing new amusements, entertainments, music, and dance without interference or oppression.

Paperback. Condizione: Good. The Northern Narratives series #5 drops anchor in Southeast Alaska's rainiest, fishiest, and foggiest frontier town with its latest volume: Tall Tales of Alaska Ketchikan AK: A City Built on Salmon, Timber, & Totem Poles Waiting for you at the doorway to the Inside Passage, Ketchikan is more than just a stop on the "milk run." It's Alaska's first city-first to greet you, first to drench you, and first to prove that truth is often stranger than fiction. If you think you've seen everything Alaska has to offer, wait until the fog lifts in Ketchikan. And within these pages, you'll wade through a town built on pilings, perched above tides, and forever shaped by salmon. You'll explore how the timber wars divided communities, why a fish pirate might have been the most respected criminal on the docks, and what really goes on along Married Man's Trail. From floating logging camps to phantom submarines, Ketchikan has always harbored a story or two-some foggier than others. Trust me, every boardwalk and back alley has a version of events, and none of the quite match up. Grubitz, Sam (illustratore).…
