Black Strivings in an Intemperate Land
from Part I - The Family in an Intemperate Community, State, and Nation
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 April 2023
The enslaved descended families featured here faced a particularly harmful man-made peril throughout their lives – legal racism. Some were more bound by caste than others, but all suffered more than what was just and necessary. Natural disasters often amplify man-made insults, including devil’s bargains baked into the constitutional edifice, non-inclusive economic jobs and corporate recoveries, market health care biases, anemic homeowning opportunities and unfair wage structures, inequitable health care and public education systems, the elite’s disregard for the rule of law, and environmental insults such as locating large shares of black residents in flood zones or near power and other processing plants.
