What was it like to be an Asian American in the segregated South? How did Asian Americans deal with situations where they did not fit within the traditional roles of black or white? How did ethnic minorities perceive the color line within the segregated South? In this rebroadcast from 2012, Professor of English Leslie Bow discusses her book “Partly Colored,” in an examination of “third ethnicities” in the Deep South during the heart of Jim Crow-era segregation.
