Editorial Reviews

Review

‘We made room for ourselves’ (p. xii). This one sentence captures the essence of Hannah Jopling’s Life in a Black Community, a historical ethnography that examines how black residents interacted with the white community in the borderstate town of Annapolis, Maryland, from 1902 to 1952, negotiating and demanding their rights as citizens through various individual and collective efforts…. [T]he book overall is a valuable contribution to research focused on the relationship between citizenship and race…. What is striking about Life in a Black Community is the various ways it can be used in classes and for research on education, race, racism, citizenship, class, community organizing, Jim Crow, and resistance. Many of the examples of ‘striving for equal citizenship’ that Jopling uses to support her argument can still be seen today, making this historical ethnography soberingly timely and a sad reminder about the ways history reproduces itself when lessons are not learned and enacted. ― American Anthropologist

Here, in Life in a Black Community, is the invisible third of Annapolis. Here is the African America that made the city. It is never seen by historians or preservationists because it is not in official records or great buildings, but is in the ordinary: newspapers and in the ground as archaeology. This is the third that has been regarded as disposable along with the ground where it is buried and in the newspapers printed to be discarded. -- Mark P. Leone, University of Maryland, College Park
