Originally established by the Consolidation Coal Company, Buxton was the largest unincorporated coal mining community in Iowa. What made Buxton unique, however, is the fact that the majority of its 5,000 residents were African Americans -- a highly unusual racial composition for a state which was over 90 percent white. At a time when both southern and northern blacks were disadvantaged and oppressed, blacks in Buxton enjoyed true racial integration -- steady employment, above-average wages, decent housing, and minimal discrimination. For such reasons, Buxton was commonly known as 'the black man's utopia in Iowa.' Containing documentary evidence- -- ncluding newspapers, census records, photographs, and state mining reports-along with interviews of 75 former residents, Buxton: Work and Racial Equality in a Coal Mining Community. explores the Buxton experience from a variety of perspectives. The authors -- an American historian, a family sociologist, and a race relations sociologist -- provide a truly interdisciplinary history of one Iowa's most unique communities.".
