       and Negro standards thus mutually 'cause' each other". 
520    For a brief time following the end of the US Civil War, 
       American political leaders had an opportunity--slim, to be
       sure, but not beyond the realm of possibility--to remake 
       society so that black Americans and other persons of color
       could enjoy equal opportunity in civil and political life.
       It was not to be. With each passing year after the war--
       and especially after Reconstruction ended during the 1870s
       --American society witnessed the evolution of a new white 
       republic as national leaders abandoned the promise of 
       Reconstruction and justified their racial biases based on 
       political, economic, social, and religious values that 
       supplanted the old North-South/slavery-abolitionist schism
       of the antebellum era. This book provides a sweeping 
       history of this too often overlooked period of African 
       American history that followed the collapse of 
       Reconstruction--from the beginnings of legal segregation 
       through the end of World War II. Author J. Michael 
       Martinez argues that the 1880s ushered in the dark night 
       of the American Negro--a night so dark and so long that 
       the better part of a century would elapse before sunlight 
       broke through. Combining both a "top-down" perspective on 
       crucial political issues and public policy decisions as 
       well as a "bottom-up" discussion of the lives of black and
       white Americans between the 1880s and the 1940s, A Long 
       Dark Night will be of interest to all readers seeking to 
       better understand this crucial era that continues to 
       resonate throughout American life today.--Adapted from 
       dust jacket.
