Though often consigned to the footnotes of history, African
American women are a significant part of the rich, multiethnic
heritage of Texas and the United States. Until now, though, their
story has frequently been fragmented and underappreciated.""Black
Women in Texas History"" draws together a multi-author narrative of
the experiences and impact of black American women from the time of
slavery until the recent past. Each chapter, written by an expert
on the era, provides a readable survey and overview of the lives
and roles of black Texas women during that period. Each provides
careful documentation, which, along with the thorough bibliography
compiled by the volume editors, will provide a starting point for
others wanting to build on this important topic.The authors address
significant questions about population demographics, employment
patterns, family and social dimensions, legal and political rights,
and individual accomplishments. They look not only at how African
American women have been shaped by the larger culture but also at
how these women have, in turn, affected the culture and history of
Texas. This work situates African American women within the context
of their times and offers a due appreciation and analysis of their
lives and accomplishments.""Black Women in Texas History"" is an
important addition to history and sociology curriculum's as well as
black studies and women's studies programs. It will provide for
interested students, scholars, and general readers a comprehensive
survey of the crucial role these women played in shaping the
history of the Lone Star State.
