内容简介
In the first interdisciplinary history to frame the African American Great Migration as an environmental experience, Landscapes of Hopetravels to Chicagos parks and beaches as well as youth camps, vacation resorts, and the farms and forests of the rural Midwest. Despite persistent racial discrimination and violence in many of these places, African Americans retreated there to relax and sometimes work, reconnecting with southern identities and lifestyles they had left behind.
作为第一部将非裔美国人的大移民构建为一种环境经历的跨学科历史著作，《希望的风景》游历了芝加哥的公园，湖滨，青年营，度假胜地，以及美国中西部乡村的农场和森林。尽管这里很多地区一直存在着种族歧视和暴力，非裔美国人还是躲往这些地方放松身心，时而从事工作，与他们留在身后的南方身份和生活方式重建联系。

黑人聚集在华盛顿公园
Between 1915 and 1940, hundreds of thousands of African Americans moved away from the South to begin new lives in the urban North. In Chicago alone, the black population quintupled to more than 275,000 in a quarter century. Most historians map the integration of southern and northern black culture through labor, religion, politics, and popular culture. Brian McCammack follows a different path, recapturing black Chicagoans as they forged material and imaginative connections to nature. In the relatively prosperous migration years but also in the depths of the Great Depression, Chicagos black community--women and men, young and old, working class and upper class--sought out, fought for, built, and enjoyed natural and landscaped environments. No matter how crowded or degraded, green spaces provided a refuge for black Chicagoans and an opportunity to realize the promise of nature and of the Great Migration itself.
