Exploiting early class divisions, black working-class activists staged a series of successful protests that helped make northern leisure spaces a critical battleground in a larger debate about racial equality. While some scholars emphasize the triumph of black consumer activism with defeating segregation, Goldberg argues that the various consumer ideologies that first surfaced in northern leisure spaces during the Reconstruction era contained desegregation efforts and prolonged Jim Crow. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCombining intellectual, social, and cultural history, The Retreats of Reconstruction examines how these decisions helped popularize the doctrine of \"separate but equal\" and explains why the politics of consumption is critical to understanding the \"long civil rights movement.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David E.
