Emily Abel and Margaret Nelson, whose mother employed Jones, use the interview and their own childhood memories as a starting point in piecing together Joness life in an effort to investigate the impact of structural racism, and a discriminatory system their family helped uphold. The book is situated in three different settingsthe poor rural South, Charlottesville, and the affluent suburb of Larchmont, New Yorkall places that Mable Jones lived and worked.</p><p>Mable Jones was emblematic of her race, gender, time, and place. Like many African Americans born around 1900, she lived first in a rural community before moving to a city. She had to leave school after the eighth grade and worked until a year before her death. And her occupation was that held by the majority of African American women through the twentieth century. Reflecting on her life, local civil rights leader Eugene Williams asked the authors to document the "segregation in Charlottesville that Mrs. Jones endured." This book honors his charge by highlighting the limited choices available to her. It documents the slow progress of change for many African Americans in the South, explores the still little-known experiences of Black household workers in the suburban North, and reconstructs the textured lives that Mable Jones and the many women like her nevertheless carved out in a system that was and continues to be stacked against them.</p>...4345698Limited Choices459483https://www.gandhi.com.mx/limited-choices-9780813946665/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/4292399/image.jpg?v=638446610332730000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20219780813946665_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_<p>When interviewed by the Charlottesville, Virginia, Ridge Street Oral History Project, which documented the lives of Black residents in the 1990s, Mable Jones described herself as a childrens nurse, recounting her employment in New York City in the 1940s and 1950s.
