Book Description
Comprehensive history of African Americans in Iowa. Published by the IOwa State Historical Society, the book is the result of a 6 year project bringing together the work of 36 committed Iowa scholars- historians, business people, doctors, lawyers, professors, public employees, and students. Three themes connect the 21 chapters: the struggle of black and white Iowans to establish equal rights; the pursuit of individual opportunity in Iowa's economy; and the creation of coherent communities and inclusive culture. Generously illustrated with photographs and well documented with footnotes and extensive bibliography and index.
About The Author
Project coordinator: Dr. Hal Chase- professor of African American studies at Des Moines Area Community College.
Editor: Dr. Bill Silag- Editor-in-Chief at the Iowa State University Press for ten years, presently a free lance editor in Ithaca, New York.
Reader Reviews
Excellent survey of an Iowa community--one not well covered elsewhere. Definitely worth buying, despite the price. If you're African-American with Iowa roots, you will probably see pictures of people your grandparents and parents knew, and places your ancestors saw. But anyone will find this book interesting since it covers so many topics and includes wonderful old photographs. There are a few areas I wish received more coverage, like migration into Iowa and where from. But I've heard a rumor that the editor is planning a second volumn; hopefully they will cover these areas then. I hope so.
