Description

The Most Interesting Girl of this Country is the Colored Girl: Girls and Racial Uplift in Great Migration Chicago, 1899--1950 focuses on the relationship between discourses on and programs for African-American girls in Chicago during the Great Migration, the mass movement of African-Americans from the South to Northern cities between 1917 and 1950. The dissertation explores how specific girls programs and research on girls reflected African-American women's anxieties about urbanization, the struggle to socialize the growing Southern population in the city and the various assertions of the right to lead and protect 'colored girls' from harm. The dissertation includes an analysis of four distinct institutions and ideologies on girls' development: the Amanda Smith Industrial School for Girls, the use of girls' labor in the Moorish Science Temple of America's economic enterprises, Chicago's Alpha Kappa Alpha chapters' vocational guidance program, and Chicago's predominately African-American Oececa Council of Camp Fire Girls of America. The Most Interesting Girl of this Country argues that during this period of urbanization, girls occupied a special ideological place in the project of Black freedom and advancement, yet in practice, girls were sometimes marginalized or underserved by racial uplift initiatives.
