Slavery to Integration : Black Americans in West Texas Paperback / softback
Edited by Bruce A. Glasrud, Paul H. Carlson
Paperback / softback
Description
Black Americans arrived in West Texas in the early sixteenth century and nearly five centuries later continue to contribute to the region that shares so many characteristics with the western United States.
Despite that distinguishing feature, no published study covers the lives of African Americans in West Texas.
This volume seeks to fill that gap. ""Slavery to Integration"" consists of twelve articles depicting the basic themes and topics of the black American experience in West Texas.
Drawing articles from the West Texas Historical Association Year Book, the editors, Bruce A.
Glasrud, Paul H. Carlson, and Tai D. Kreidler, selected well-written and enjoyable articles on the basis of chronology, topic, readability, scholarship, and interest.
They include such topics as slavery, black cattlemen, buffalo soldiers, race relations, urban centers, education, desegregation, and integration.
Read individually, each article explores an important aspect of African American history in West Texas and, read in aggregate, they cover black West Texas history broadly.
