Through four chronological but also thematic chapters, Chatelain makes the significance of girlhood to narratives of racial uplift, urban identity, and citizenship undeniable in the early twentieth-century metropolis. With this carefully researched, imaginative, and important book, Chatelain argues that African American girls and rhetoric about them significantly shaped Black American aspirations, strategies, and programming long before the 1950s as she identifies their role in the early years of Great Migration Chicago. Images of children in civil rights battles conveyed the realities of Jim Crow life and provided tools for advancing mid-century justice campaigns.
