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.
