When did southern segregation begin? People often assume that segregation was a natural outcome of Reconstruction. In fact, scholars cannot agree on which events at the end of the nineteenth century mark the beginning of formalized Jim Crow. The 6 selections in this volume address the question of segregation’s origins and, amid the debate over when segregation began, also engage the issues of where, why, and how it became the norm for relations between black and white southerners. Concentrating on various issues—segregation’s antebellum antecedents, degrees of fluidity of racial interaction following emancipation, the complex relationship between race, gender, and class, and the diversity of segregation practices among the states—the selections illustrate the evolution of southern segregation from a diverse array of local practices to an inflexible American Apartheid.

John David Smith is Graduate Alumni Distinguished Professor of History and Director of the M.A. Program in Public History at North Carolina State University. He is the author or editor of more than a dozen books, including An Old Creed for the New South (1985), the multi-volume work Anti-Black Thought, 1863-1925 (1993), and Black Judas: William Hannibal Thomas and The American Negro (2000). In 1998-99, he served as the Fulbright Professor of American Studies at the Amerika Institut, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitat, Munich, Germany.
'As long as racial inequities persist in the United States, students, scholars and Americans in general will need to know when and why segregation began. John David Smith's astute collection pulls together both classic and recent explanations of the origins of the pernicious practice of restricting rights and public access on the basis of skin color. Beyond tracing the complex origins of segregation, Smith's collection reminds us of the enduring and tragic consequences of legalized racism.' - W. Fitzhugh Brundage, University of Florida
