Toward the end of the nineteenth century, many African Americans
moved westward as Greater Reconstruction came to a close. Though,
along with Euro-Americans, Black settlers appropriated the land of
Native Americans, sometimes even contributing to ongoing violence
against Indigenous people, this migration often defied the goals of
settler states in the American West. In Black Montana Anthony W.
Wood explores the entanglements of race, settler colonialism, and
the emergence of state and regional identity in the American West
during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. By producing
conditions of social, cultural, and economic precarity that
undermined Black Montanans' networks of kinship, community, and
financial security, the state of Montana, in its capacity as a
settler colony, worked to exclude the Black community that began to
form inside its borders after Reconstruction. Black Montana depicts
the history of Montana's Black community from 1877 until the 1930s,
a period in western American history that represents a significant
moment and unique geography in the life of the U.S.
settler-colonial project.
