Books by Janette Thomas Greenwood

Tells the dramatic story of the relationship between two generations of black and white southerners in Charlotte, North Carolina, from 1850 to 1910. Janette Greenwood paints a surprisingly complex portrait of race and class relations in the New South and demonstrates the impact of personal relationships, generational shifts, and the interplay of local, state, and national events.

Offering a glimpse into the lives of African American men, women, and children on the cusp of freedom, this title chronicles one of the first collective migrations of blacks from the South to the North during and after the Civil War. It shows that even in the North, white sympathy did not continue after the Civil War.
