Note(s) : Notes bibliogr. index
No one has written more about the African American experience in Missouri over the
past four decades than Gary Kremer, and now for the first time fourteen of his best
articles on the subject are available in one place with the publication of Race and
Meaning: The African American Experience in Missouri. By placing the articles in chronological
order of historical events rather than by publication date, Kremer combines them into
one detailed account that addresses issues such as the transition from slavery to
freedom for African Americans in Missouri, all-black rural communities, and the lives
of African Americans seeking new opportunities in Missouri's cities. In addition to
his previously published articles, Kremer includes a personal introduction revealing
how he first became interested in researching African American history and how his
education at Lincoln University--and specifically the influence of his mentor, Lorenzo
Greene--helped him to realize his eventual career path. Race and Meaning makes a collection
of largely unheard stories spanning much of Missouri history accessible for the first
time in one place, allowing each article to be read in the context of the others,
and creating a whole that is much greater than the sum of its parts. Whether you are
a student, researcher, or general reader, this book will be essential to anyone with
an interest in Missouri history
