Specificatii
In this revealing social history, one remarkable White House dinner
shines a powerful light on race, politics, and the lives and
legacies of Theodore Roosevelt and Booker T. Washington. In this
revealing social history, one remarkable White House dinner becomes
a lens through which to examine race, politics, and the lives and
legacies of two of America's most iconic figures. In 1901,
President Theodore Roosevelt invited Booker T. Washington to have
dinner at the executive mansion with the First Family. The next
morning, news that the president had dined with a black man sent
shock waves through the nation. Fueled by inflammatory newspaper
articles, political cartoons, and even vulgar songs, the scandal
escalated and threatened to topple two of America's greatest men.
In this smart, accessible narrative, one seemingly ordinary dinner
becomes a window onto post-Civil War American history and politics,
and onto the lives of two dynamic men whose experiences and
philosophies connect in unexpected ways. Deborah Davis also
introduces dozens of other fascinating figures who have previously
occupied the margins and footnotes of history, creating a lively
and vastly entertaining book that reconfirms her place as one of
our most talented popular historians.
