Mary Niall Mitchell analyzes multiple views of the black child\u2014in letters, photographs, newspapers, novels, and court cases\u2014to demonstrate how Americans contested and defended slavery and its abolition.<\/p>\n<p>With each chapter, Mitchell narrates an episode in the lives of freedom\u2019s children, from debates over their education and labor to the future of racial classification and American citizenship. <em><strong>Raising Freedom\u2019s Child<\/strong><\/em> illustrates how intensely the image of the black child captured the imaginations of many Americans during the upheavals of the Civil War era. Through public struggles over the black child, Mitchell argues, Americans by turns challenged and reinforced the racial inequality fostered under slavery in the United States. Only with the triumph of segregation in public schools in 1877 did the black child lose her central role in the national debate over civil rights, a role she would not play again until the 1950s.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Check out\u00a0the\u00a0\u00a0NetLibrary ebook selection of the Month\u00a0for February.
