From the publisher: "From 1900 until the early 1920s, an unusual community existed in America's heartland -- Buxton, Iowa. 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.".

Shopbeschreibung

About Books [Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and out of print books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail order catalogue, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of more than 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialities listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you want to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please only between the hours of 8am and 10pm, west coast time. Our phone is a landline that cannot receive texts.…
