Listen "Jane Crow and the Railroad: Gender, Race, and Politics on the American Railroad"
Episode Synopsis
Join us on this week’s episode of Roundhouse Crosstalk. In this week's episode we speak with Miriam Thaggert, a professor at the University at Buffalo about her new book Riding Jane Crow: African American Women in the American Railroad. We discuss how railroad travel was both radicalized and gendered and how African American men and women used train travel as a marker of social progress, or lack thereof. This is the first of a two part interview.
