      abstract = {Loving, hating, pitying, or pining for mammy became a way  for Americans to make sense of shifting economic, social,  and racial realities. Assertions of black contentment with  servitude alleviated white fears while reinforcing racial  hierarchy. McElya's stories expose the power and reach of  this myth, not only in advertising, films, and literature  about the South, but also in national monument proposals,  child custody cases, New Negro activism, anti-lynching  campaigns, and the civil rights movement.},
