Anne Meis Knupfer Bücher

Focusing on the interactions between girls and state authorities in Cook County, Illinois, the book explores the roots of American concepts of gender and delinquency. Through a blend of thorough research and engaging prose, it presents a compelling narrative that highlights the experiences of marginalized girls, revealing the complexities of reform and resistance in their lives.

Following on the heels of the Harlem Renaissance, the Chicago Renaissance was a resonant flourishing of African American arts, literature, theatre, music, and intellectualism, from 1930 to 1955. This work demonstrates the complexity of black women's many vital contributions to this unique cultural flowering.
