Description
"Limited Choices tells about the life of Mable Jones, an African American domestic worker from Charlottesville employed in New York City in the 1940s and 1950s. The authors, whose family employed Jones, use an oral interview and their own childhood memories as a starting point in piecing together Jones's life in an effort to investigate the impact of structural racism, and a discriminatory system their family helped uphold. The book treats three different settings-the poor rural South, Charlottesville, and the affluent suburb of Larchmont, New York-all places Mable Jones lived and worked"--,Provided by publisher.
