The Other Side of Middletown : Exploring Muncie's African American Community Paperback / softback
by Luke Eric Lassiter, Hurley Goodall, Elizabeth Campbell, Michelle Natasya Johnson
Paperback / softback
Description
Prompted by the overt omission of Muncie's black community from the famous community study by Robert S.
Lynd and Helen Merrell Lynd, Middletown: A Study in Modern American Culture, the authors initiated this project to reveal the unrecorded historical and contemporary life of Middletown, a well-known pseudonym for the Midwestern city of Muncie, Indiana.
As a collaboration of community and campus, this book recounts the early efforts of Hurley Goodall to develop a community history and archive that told the story of the African American community, and rectify the representation of small town America as exclusively white.
The authors designed and implemented a collaborative ethnographic field project that involved intensive interviews, research, and writing between community organizations, local experts, ethnographers, and teams of college students.
This book is a unique model for collaborative research, easily accessible to students.
It will be a valuable resource for instructors in anthropology, creative writing, sociology, community research, and African American studies.
