Treva Lindsey defines New Negro womanhood as a mosaic, authorial, and constitutive individual and collective identity inhabited by African American women seeking to transform themselves and their communities through demanding autonomy and equality for African American women. The New Negro woman invested in upending racial, gender, and class inequality and included race women, blues women, playwrights, domestics, teachers, mothers, sex workers, policy workers, beauticians, fortune tellers, suffragists, same-gender couples, artists, activists, and innovators. From these differing but interconnected African American women's spaces comes an urban, cultural history of the early twentieth century struggles for freedom and equality that marked the New Negro era in the nation's capital. Washington provided a unique space in which such a vision of equality could emerge and sustain. In the face of the continued pernicious effects of Jim Crow racism and perpetual and institutional racism and sexism, Lindsey demonstrates how African American women in Washington made significant strides towards a more equal and dynamic urban center. Witnessing the possibility of social and political change empowered New Negro women of Washington to struggle for the kind of city, nation, and world they envisioned in political, social, and cultural ways."--Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a African American women $z Washington (D.C.) $x History. 650 0 $a Women, Black $x Race identity. 650 0 $a African American women $z Washington (D.C.) $x Social life and customs. 650 0 $a African American women $x History $z Washington (D.C.) $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Women $x History $z Washington (D.C.) $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Women $z Washington (D.C.) $x History. 651 0 $a Washington (D.C.) $x Social life and customs $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Washington (D.C.) $x Politics and government $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Salons $z Washington (D.C.) $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Washington (D.C.) $x Intellectual life $y 20th century. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Lindsey, Treva B., 1983- author. $t Colored no more. $b Second edition. $d Urbana, IL : University of Illinois Press, [2017] $z 9780252099571 $w (DLC) 2016056612 830 0 $a Women, gender, and sexuality in American history. 941 $a 4 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191217023735.0 952 $l PMAX975 $d 20191119044742.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20181010011206.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20180426011422.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8DBAE2F8E7B011E78369235E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
