In the late 1940s, parents began to file desegregation lawsuits with their daughters, forcing Thurgood Marshall and other civil rights lawyers to take up the issue. After the Brown v.

In A Girl Stands at the Door, historian Rachel Devlin tells the remarkable stories of these desegregation pioneers. She also explains why black girls were seen, and saw themselves, as responsible for the difficult work of reaching across the color line in public schools.

Le ton de l'ouvrage est vif, voire lapidaire, le style particulièrement cru et chatoyant. Pierre Louÿs use volontiers d'ironie pour évoquer les amours viles des jeunes filles perverses, et cette relative distanciation lui permet de faire fi de toute censure morale (inceste, pédophilie). De fait, on est loin du raffinement précieux des Chansons de Bilitis par exemple, et le Manuel de civilité est sans doute l'œuvre la plus subversive de Louÿs, véritable attaque en règle contre le puritanisme bourgeois de la Belle Époque.
