Download or read book Baltimore '68 written by Elizabeth Nix and published by Temple University Press. This book was released on 2011-06-17 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1968, Baltimore was home to a variety of ethnic, religious, and racial communities that, like those in other American cities, were confronting a quickly declining industrial base. In April of that year, disturbances broke the urban landscape along lines of race and class. This book offers chapters on events leading up to the turmoil, the riots, and the aftermath as well as four rigorously edited and annotated oral histories of members of the Baltimore community. The combination of new scholarship and first-person accounts provides a comprehensive case study of this period of civil unrest four decades later. This engaging, broad-based public history lays bare the diverse experiences of 1968 and their effects, emphasizing the role of specific human actions. By reflecting on the stories and analysis presented in this anthology, readers may feel empowered to pursue informed, responsible civic action of their own. Baltimore '68 is the book component of a larger public history project, "Baltimore '68 Riots: Riots and Rebirth." The project's companion website (http://archives.ubalt.edu/bsr/index.html ) offers many more oral histories plus photos, art, and links to archival sources. The book and the website together make up an invaluable teaching resource on cities, social unrest, and racial politics in the 1960s. The project was the corecipient of the 2009 Outstanding Public History Project Award from the National Council on Public History.

Book Synopsis Blockbusting in Baltimore by : W. Edward Orser
Download or read book Blockbusting in Baltimore written by W. Edward Orser and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2014-07-11 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This innovative study of racial upheaval and urban transformation in Baltimore, Maryland investigates the impact of "blockbusting" -- a practice in which real estate agents would sell a house on an all-white block to an African American family with the aim of igniting a panic among the other residents. These homeowners would often sell at a loss to move away, and the real estate agents would promote the properties at a drastic markup to African American buyers. In this groundbreaking book, W. Edward Orser examines Edmondson Village, a west Baltimore rowhouse community where an especially acute instance of blockbusting triggered white flight and racial change on a dramatic scale. Between 1955 and 1965, nearly twenty thousand white residents, who saw their secure world changing drastically, were replaced by blacks in search of the American dream. By buying low and selling high, playing on the fears of whites and the needs of African Americans, blockbusters set off a series of events that Orser calls "a collective trauma whose significance for recent American social and cultural history is still insufficiently appreciated and understood." Blockbusting in Baltimore describes a widely experienced but little analyzed phenomenon of recent social history. Orser makes an important contribution to community and urban studies, race relations, and records of the African American experience.
Book Synopsis The Other Side of the Riot by : Jacob Alexander Hutton
Download or read book The Other Side of the Riot written by Jacob Alexander Hutton and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King on April 4th cities across America descended into rioting as blacks vented their frustration with a repressive society. Baltimore City initially seemed to escape the rioting, but after a few tense days it also descended into destructive chaos. The disturbance has been assigned a place of infamy in the memory of many white residents, which are commonly believed to have relatively similar experiences and reactions. Using oral histories of white Baltimoreans from Northern Baltimore County, Highlandtown, and Park Heights I argue that the white experience was not that simple. Due to influences such as geographic location, class, and religion all three neighborhoods had very different experiences and reactions to the riot.

Book Synopsis City Life-- a Perspective from Baltimore, 1968-1978 by : Paul Fairfax Evans
Download or read book City Life-- a Perspective from Baltimore, 1968-1978 written by Paul Fairfax Evans and published by C.H. Fairfax Company, Incorporated. This book was released on 1981 with total page 1084 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What format did I use in chronicling ten years of social and political transition, which had broad racial and class implications, objectively? Could it be done within the parameters of my experiences throughout the time involved? Was Baltimore ready for such a work? There were other questions and other doubts. Eventually they became less important. City Life offers one perspective from Baltimore on the period 1968-1978. It has been written by a native Baltimorean for Baltimoreans--and anyone else--who needs, and wants, to know something about what took place here during the 4,000--odd days that comprised the time under study. This book does not tell the complete story. No one person can achieve that. But, it is the nearest we have come thus far to providing as comprehensive a picture as possible, from one person, about a segment of the municipal past. -- Foreword.
