Jonathan Holloway is professor of history and African American studies at Yale University. His previous work focused upon the social history of African American intellectuals since 1895. His new project, Jim Crow Wisdom, explores the use of "race memories" in culture and politics since 1941. Holloway received his Ph.D. in history from Yale in 1995 and his A.B. in American studies from Stanford University in 1989.
Project Summary
"Jim Crow Wisdom: Memory, Identity, and Politics in Black America, 1941-2000," examines how blacks claimed a privileged moral space in America by developing carefully defined interpretations of the discriminatory place to which white society assigned them. This project investigates how blacks articulated ideas about their "place" in America and employed race memories in such a way that preserved black elite status and influence.
