Arehart, Sue Fawn Chung, Kami Fletcher, Rosina Hassoun, James S. Pula, Jeffrey E. Smith, and Martina Will de Chaparro Till Death Do Us Part: American Ethnic Cemeteries as Borders Uncrossed explores the tendency among most Americans to separate their dead along communal lines rooted in race, faith, ethnicity, or social standing and asks what a deeper exploration of that phenomenon can tell us about American history more broadly. Comparative in scope, and regionally diverse, chapters look to immigrants, communities of color, the colonized, the enslaved, rich and poor, and religious minorities as they buried kith and kin in locales spanning the Northeast to the Spanish American Southwest. Whether African Americans, Muslim or Christian Arabs, Indians, mestizos, Chinese, Jews, Poles, Catholics, Protestants, or various whites of European descent, one thing that united these Americans was a drive to keep their dead apart. At times, they did so for internal preference. At others, it was a function of external prejudice. Invisible and institutional borders built around and into ethnic cemeteries also tell a powerful story of the ways in which Americans have negotiated race, culture, class, national origin, and religious difference in the United States during its formative centuries"-- $c Provided by publisher 520 $a "A comprehensive study of how burial customs highlight social status and class"-- $c Provided by publisher 650 0 $a Cemeteries $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Burial $z United States. 650 0 $a Segregation $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Minorities $z United States $x Social conditions. 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE $x Cultural & Social. $x Cultural & Social. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Burial. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00841751 650 7 $a Cemeteries. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00850521 650 7 $a Minorities $x Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01023228 650 7 $a Segregation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01111205 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 650 7 $a Bestattungsritus $2 gnd 651 7 $a USA $2 gnd 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Amanik, Allan, $e editor. 700 1 $a Fletcher, Kami, $e editor. 776 08 $i Online version: $t Till death do us part. $d Jackson : University Press of Mississippi, 2020 $z 9781496827906 $w (DLC) 2019053829 941 $a 1 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20211201010346.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5715D068527411EC8E4D38A14AECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b JIDInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
