Editorial Reviews
Midwest Book Review
Black Texans is the history of African Americans in Texas from 1528 to 1995. those dates mean that Blacks have lived in Texas for more than 400 years - longer than in any other region of the United States. Black Texans examines the periods of exploration and colonization, slavery, Reconstruction, the struggle to retain the freedoms gained, the 20th century urban experience, and the modern civil rights movement. Alwyn Bar covers each of these periods in terms of their politics, violence, and legal status; labor and economic status; education; and social life. Black Texans includes the history of the buffalo soldiers and the cowboys on Texas cattle drives, along with the achievements of notable African-American individuals in Texas history from Estevan the explorer through state senator Barbara Jordan. Black Texans is a "must" for all Black Studies and Western American History collections.
