Description:... Louisiana Beyond Black and White brings together the most up-to-date essays by historians studying the related concepts of race and race relations in the state. The essays expand upon a variety of the major historical themes, notably Louisiana's multi-tiered racial structure and contingent understandings of race, the interplay of race and religion, the effects of the Cold War on the civil rights movement, the role of women and intellectuals in the black freedom movement, and the continuing struggles for economic and social rights after the end of the traditional civil rights era.
