About this title: "Don't let the sun go down on you in this town" are words equated with the Jim Crow South, but in a sweeping analysis of American residential patterns, award-winning and bestselling historian Loewen demonstrates that strict racial exclusion was the whole country's norm for much of the 20th century.

Description: New in New jacket. 8vo-over 7¾"-9¾" tall. A study of a little-known aspect of American history and its seemingly forever insoluble race problem, surveying the wide prevalence of 'sundown towns' across the 'northern' United States which disallowed blacks and other non-whites within their environs after dark, often exlicity posting signs to that effect and enforced by local law enforcement and other authorities-this phenomenon itself a product of 'northern' reaction to the waves of lynching and ... read more

"This explains it all. Every American should read this book -- especially those of us who think that racism was limited to the South. This'll blow that presumption to bits."
"The best thing about this book is that it made the geography that I had always accepted as concrete something that was painfully alive. It was striking how many of the deeply segregated towns were familiar to me and helped me realize how pervasive segregation is in the Midwest. His analysis was sweeping and comprehensive, but sometimes felt a bit scattered. He incorporated the ideas of other scholars as well as primary sources, but it often felt blippy. Furthermore, the book already feels dated as it fails to mention the dynamic of white, suburban youth moving into previously non-white urban neighborhoods. Finally, in pointing out the worst of the sundown towns, he offers little insight or analysis into towns that have a multiracial population but whose various racial groups have little meaningful engagement. Still, I recommend this book to anyone who grew up in a racially homogenous community and is interested in understanding how this came to be and how it mediates one's life and community."
"This thoroughly depressing book is a must-read for anyone with a desire to end racism, but perhaps especially for those who feel that racism is no longer a problem in America. The sheer pervasiveness of this unspoken phenomenon in towns all across the nation (even as late as 2003, when the book was published) was horrifying, but even more appalling was my ignorance of their existence. Being from Texas, I knew about Vidor (seat of the local KKK for years), but had no idea that there were so many others (including one wretched place in Illinois called Anna, which actually stands for "Ain't No N****s Allowed). Made me ashamed to be white."
