These positions helped amplify the distinctions they drew between their political economic system, which they saw as forward-thinking in its promotion of free market capitalism, and the now vanquished Southern system, which had been built on slavery. But this interest in legal race neutrality should not be mistaken for an effort to integrate Northern African Americans into the state or society on an equal footing with whites. During the Great Migration, which brought tens of thousands of African Americans into Northern cities after World War I, white Northern leaders faced new challenges from both white and African American activists and were pushed to manage race relations in a more formalized and proactive manner. The result was Northern racial liberalism: the idea that all Americans, regardless of race, should be politically equal, but that the state cannot and indeed should not enforce racial equality by interfering with existing social or economic relations. In Managing Inequality, Karen R. Miller examines the formulation, uses, and growing political importance of Northern racial liberalism in Detroit between the two World Wars. Miller argues that racial inequality was built into the liberal state at its inception, rather than produced by antagonists of liberalism. Managing Inequality shows that our current racial system--where race neutral language coincides with extreme racial inequalities that appear natural rather than political--has a history that is deeply embedded in contemporary governmental systems and political economies"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 305-316)and index. 505 0 $a African American Migration and the Emerging Discourse of Northern Racial Liberalism -- Protecting Urban Peace : Northern Racial Liberalism and the Limits of Racial Equality -- Between Ossian Sweet and the Great Depression : Tolerance and Northern Racial Liberal Discourse in the Late 1920s -- "Living Happily at the Taxpayers' Expense" : City Managers, African American "Freeloaders," and White Taxpayers -- "Let Us Act Funny" : Snow Flake Grigsby and Civil Rights Liberalism in the 1930s -- Northern Racial Liberalism and Detroit's Labor Movement -- "Better Housing Makes Better Citizens" : Slum Clearance and Low-Cost Housing. 651 0 $a Detroit (Mich.) $x History $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Detroit (Mich.) $x Politics and government $y 20th century. 650 0 $a African Americans $x History $z Detroit $z Detroit $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a African Americans $z Detroit $z Detroit $x Social conditions $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Liberalism $z Detroit $z Detroit $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Equality $x History $z Detroit $z Detroit $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Detroit (Mich.) $x Economic conditions $y 20th century. 650 7 $a HISTORY / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Discrimination & Race Relations. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Ethnic Studies / African American Studies. $2 bisacsh 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 648 7 $a 1900 - 1999 $2 fast 650 7 $a African Americans $x Civil rights. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799575 650 7 $a African Americans $x Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799698 650 7 $a Economic history. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00901974 650 7 $a Equality $x Government policy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00914462 650 7 $a Liberalism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00997183 650 7 $a Political science. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069781 650 7 $a Race relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086509 651 7 $a Michigan $z Detroit. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205010 856 42 $3 Cover image $u http://www.netread.com/jcusers/1313/2883750/image/lgcover.9781479880096.jpg 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213014827.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=41AF4DE0033A11E8972C924897128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
