The Stories of Building the Black Beach Community of Ocean City, North Carolina shares a provocative story about a small Black beach community on North Topsail Island, North Carolina. Hope Jackson argues that stories like these not only offer a rich, untold perspective about Black lives, but also shares the depth of this Black community despite originating under the threat of violence in the segregated South. Brick by Brick acknowledges the defiance of a group of Black individuals who, collectively, provided a recreational oceanfront haven. These radical Black folks created a safe harbor for Blacks to visit, live, worship, and recreate in the midst of de facto segregation. The author reveals an embedded narrative which highlights the rebelliousness of Ocean City women’s strategic mothering. Jackson shares how the impact of this location extended beyond a vacation by creating Christian worship opportunities and an Episcopal summer youth camp for Black youth. The Ocean City stories remind readers that despite Jim Crow’s demise, the need for a safe, recreational space remains necessary for Black people in today’s society.

"In North Carolina, beaches have been considered "white" territory. These spaces are beautiful, natural landscapes that can provide healing and restoration for many. Yet, when black people enter this space, the dominant (white) culture is somehow surprised. This phenomenon is central to my research which focuses on a black beach community that (re)presents leisure spaces as sites of resistance. My research study centers on the stories told by the residents of a black beach community, Ocean City, North Carolina. I spent my summers here as a child. This small community encompasses a one-mile portion of Topsail Island, North Carolina. It was founded in 1949 in the midst of the segregated South. And, these narratives present the stones of living under these conditions. In my dissertation I interpret stones metaphorically like the biblical stones of the Israelites. While these stones are each unique, they still represent a living tradition for the individual as well as the collective group because the stones are the stories of living memories. They demonstrate the rich, cultural education that took place within the black community. Their stories reveal how black communities like Ocean City, taught black folks how such spaces were essential to surviving in a dominant (white) society. This study uses narrative theory in order to present the voices of black folks who are the descendants of kidnapped Africans. This study reveals their voices not only through the African tradition of storytelling, but also acknowledging the cultural literacy of black folks as valued by one another through a sense of community. This epistemology contradicts the dominant (white) culture of possessive individualism. So, their stories are the stones that need to be told to future generations as a way to provide cultural knowledge as well as identity to the children of kidnapped Africans. In this dissertation, I consider the narratives of four Ocean City residents. Two are living and two are deceased. The living narrators are the children of the deceased storytellers. Since I am a child of the Ocean City community, I knew all of these individuals and they knew me. While I was unable to ask the questions of the deceased, I still found rich nuances that are revealed in my research. With the two living narrators I asked them to tell me about Ocean City. I analyzed each of these interviews using narrative research methodology. I identified several components: selectivities (a common trait amongst "trickster" characters), silences (evident in the signifying towards a white, female interviewer) and cultural framework of meaning (important when remembering that Ocean City survived and thrived although its physical and historical location was in the midst of the segregated South). As a result, of these shared experiences, the narratives represent the continuity of an interpretive tradition. While each narrator tells an individual story, these stories are connected because of the stones or historical memoies, namely the oppression of black folks. And, the stones reveal themselves as interpretative traditions. The significance of this study is that while black folks have made significant social and economic advancements, they have not succeeded in carrying on the interpretive traditions with their children and grandchildren. I find that this is evident in today's classroom as I teach the descendants of these kidnapped Africans, who seem disconnected from these stories. The legacy of stones as living traditions has the potential to heal all those whose humanity has been denied them in academia. If a "sense of community" is encouraged in the classroom, then the "hope" for a more inclusive society will prevail."--Abstract from author supplied metadata.

The coasts of today's American South feature luxury condominiums, resorts, and gated communities, yet just a century ago, a surprising amount of beachfront property in the Chesapeake, along the Carolina shores, and around the Gulf of Mexico was owned and populated by African Americans. Blending social and environmental history, Andrew W. Kahrl tells the story of African American–owned beaches in the twentieth century. By reconstructing African American life along the coast, Kahrl demonstrates just how important these properties were for African American communities and leisure, as well as for economic empowerment, especially during the era of the Jim Crow South. However, in the wake of the civil rights movement and amid the growing prosperity of the Sunbelt, many African Americans fell victim to effective campaigns to dispossess black landowners of their properties and beaches. Kahrl makes a signal contribution to our understanding of African American landowners and real-estate developers, as well as the development of coastal capitalism along the southern seaboard, tying the creation of overdeveloped, unsustainable coastlines to the unmaking of black communities and cultures along the shore. The result is a skillful appraisal of the ambiguous legacy of racial progress in the Sunbelt.
