Brian Norman's Neo-Segregation Narratives:
Jim Crow in Post-Civil Rights American Literature examines the novel, drama, and film in terms of (the author's own coinage) the "neo-segregation narrative." Norman's study spans the period from Lorraine Hansberry's nascent civil rights period play A Raisin in the Sun (1959) through Toni Morrison's late civil rights movement novel The Bluest Eye (1970) to Spike Lee's post-civil rights film Bamboozled (2000) and Suzan-Lori Parks's postmodern Faulkner takeoff, Getting Mother's Body (2003).

Lentz-Smith describes in detail the events leading up to the Houston riot that took place close to the beginning of the war as African Americans renewed attacks on
Jim Crow. Her discussion of the 24th Infantry's Third Battalion's arrival in Houston to guard over the construction of a National Guard training camp and the town's reaction to the men who were "unwilling to keep in their place" is a vivid portrayal of the attitudes of African American soldiers who intended to defy the social system structured for them by the
Jim Crow laws and of the attitudes of hostile, unwelcoming citizens who did not accept the well-traveled, well-seasoned soldiers.
