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.
