From the 18th century, African Americans, like many others, have
migrated to California to seek fortunes or, often, the more modest
goals of being able to find work, own a home, and raise a family
relatively free of discrimination. Not only their search but also
its outcome is covered in Seeking El Dorado. Whether they settled
in major cities or smaller towns, African Americans created
institutions and organizations-churches, social clubs, literary
societies, fraternal orders, civil rights organizations-that
embodied the legacy of their past and the values they shared.
Blacks came in search of the same jobs as other Americans, but the
search often proved frustrating. Throughout the 19th and 20th
centuries, African American leadership in the state consistently
focused on achieving racial justice. The essays in this book speak
of triumph and hardship, success, discrimination, and
disappointment. Seeking El Dorado is a major contribution to black
history and the history of the American West and will be of
interest to both scholars and general readers.
