Jim Crow Networks

Eurie Dahn's Jim Crow Networks examines Black American periodical cultures in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, focusing on how these publications formed networks that resisted racial violence and shaped community discourse.

The book analyzes the social, political, and literary roles of periodicals in Black public life, detailing editorial practices and circulation strategies.

Dahn situates periodicals within broader media ecologies and traces connections among publishers, writers, and readers.

Through archival research, she foregrounds lesser-known publications and their contributions to Black intellectual and cultural history.

The work contributes to scholarship on print culture and the struggle for racial justice during the Jim Crow era.
