Abstract

This article explores seven segregation cases involving African-American women and public transportation that played out in the city courts of St. Louis between 1865 and 1871. Situating the cases within a theoretical framework of mobility, the article explores the spatial characteristics of African-American working-class women’s lives and the extent to which streetcars became staging grounds for larger civil rights battles. While previous accounts of streetcar activism have often positioned cases as isolated incidents undertaken by elite African-American women, the cases in St. Louis attest to the rise of civil rights activism among working-class African-American women. The discussion further shows how they contributed to the nature and form of oppositional politics in St. Louis.

重建时期圣路易斯的工人阶级流动性和有轨电车政治

本文探讨了1865年至1871年间在圣路易斯市法院审理的七起涉及非裔美国妇女和公共交通的种族隔离案件。本文将这些案例置于流动性的理论框架中，探讨了非裔美国工人阶级妇女生活的空间特征，以及有轨电车在多大程度上成为了更大规模的民权斗争的集散地。虽然之前关于有轨电车运动的报道往往将这些案件定位为精英非裔美国女性所发生的孤立事件，但圣路易斯的这些案件证明了工薪阶层非裔美国女性中民权运动的兴起。讨论进一步显示了他们如何促成了圣路易斯对立政治的性质和形式。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
