Providing chronologies of important events, historical narratives
from the first settlement to the present, and biographies of major
figures, this work offers readers an unseen look at the history of
racism from the perspective of individual states. From the initial
impact of European settlement on indigenous populations to the
racial divides caused by immigration and police shootings in the
21st century, each American state has imposed some form of racial
restriction on its residents. The United States proclaims a belief
in freedom and justice for all, but members of various minority
racial groups have often faced a different reality, as seen in such
examples as the forcible dispossession of indigenous peoples during
the Trail of Tears, Jim Crow laws' crushing discrimination of
blacks, and the manifest unfairness of the Chinese Exclusion Act.
Including the District of Columbia, the 51 entries in these two
volumes cover the state-specific histories of all of the major
minority and immigrant groups in the United States, including
African Americans, Hispanics, Asian Americans, and Native
Americans. Every state has had a unique experience in attempting to
build a community comprising multiple racial groups, and the
chronologies, narratives, and biographies that compose the entries
in this collection explore the consequences of racism from states'
perspectives, revealing distinct new insights into their respective
racial histories.
