Summary

C. Vann Woodward’s seminal work, "The Strange Career of Jim Crow," is a pivotal analysis of the origins, evolution, and eventual dismantling of segregation in the American South. Originally published in 1955 and revised over the years, the book was endorsed by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. as the "historical bible of the Civil Rights Movement." Woodward traces how segregation was not an inevitable outcome of post-Civil War America but rather a political choice that became deeply entrenched over time. Through a blend of history, politics, and sociological insights, this book remains an essential read for understanding the complex and enduring legacy of racial segregation in the United States.
