The theme of this column is African American Women's Memories of Racial Oppression and Segregation in the U.S. South and Its Relevance to Multicultural Education. The focus of the review is on Anne Valk and Leslie Brown's "Living with Jim Crow: African American Women and Memories of the Segregated South" (2010). In "Living with Jim Crow," Valk and Brown present encapsulated individual and collective stories of gendered and segregated lives of African American women who came of age in 10 Southern states during Jim Crow, an era of insidious racism. Exploring culturally contested, personally challenging, and socially oppressive paths toward adulthood, Valk and Brown add to the body of research in the condition of the American Negro in the wake of the "Plessy v. Ferguson" court case and the resultant period of segregation. Drawing from the work of W. E. B. Du Bois, the oral histories collected in this book tell stories of personal sacrifice, community survival, the arduous roles of the Negro (specifically the Negro woman), as well as the resilience and strength of spirit necessary to transcend racialized life behind the veil in the post Civil War American South.
