Houston, Benjamin.

The Nashville way: A southern city confronts racial change, 1945--1975. - 434 p.

Adviser: Brian Ward.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Florida, 2006.

This dissertation analyzes the origins, dynamics, and trajectories of the black freedom struggle in Nashville, Tennessee, from 1945 to 1975. The project argues that everyday race relations in Nashville (and by extension, the South) functioned as an elaborate sort of stylized street theater, in which both blacks and whites acted according to a class-based racial etiquette infused with important gender dynamics. The class and racial dimensions at work in this complex etiquette shaped the evolution of the civil rights movement's successes and failures in Nashville.

520 $a This dissertation analyzes the origins, dynamics, and trajectories of the black freedom struggle in Nashville, Tennessee, from 1945 to 1975. The project argues that everyday race relations in Nashville (and by extension, the South) functioned as an elaborate sort of stylized street theater, in which both blacks and whites acted according to a class-based racial etiquette infused with important gender dynamics. The class and racial dimensions at work in this complex etiquette shaped the evolution of the civil rights movement's successes and failures in Nashville.
520 $a In particular, the dissertation comments on and complicates scholarly understanding of two powerful southern belief-systems, moderation and nonviolent direct action. Drawing from existing historical scholarship preoccupied with white reactions to the civil rights movement, this community study analyzes the attitudes and actions of white "moderate" Nashville. The dissertation also examines black Nashville, an epicenter for a cadre of unique individuals with an unusually intense commitment to nonviolent direct action as a way of life and who played key leadership roles in many crucial battles of the wider southern civil rights movement. My project explores how Nashville incubated this cohort and how their relationship with the wider black community in Nashville demonstrates key themes in the history of the civil rights movement.
520 $a Ultimately, Nashville's racial history shows that both white and black attitudes have strong continuities between the civil rights and Black Power eras. By focusing on both races instead of treating each in isolation, the dissertation explores the reciprocal if unequal relationship between blacks and whites, shaped by the unique economic, political, social, and cultural dynamics of the city. By studying this relationship, this dissertation has important resonance for understanding the broader history of modern southern race relations.
