Sometimes the things you own become a part of you, and that's how
Scruffy feels about his blanket. So when it goes missing, this
loveable little dog sets out on a very smelly journey to sniff it
out.
African Americans who moved to California in hopes of finding
freedom and full citizenship instead faced all-too-familiar racial
segregation. As one transplant put it, "The only difference between
Pasadena and Mississippi is the way they are spelled." From the
beaches to streetcars to schools, the Golden State-in contrast to
its reputation for tolerance-perfected many methods of controlling
people of color.Lynn M. Hudson deepens our understanding of the
practices that African Americans in the West deployed to dismantle
Jim Crow in the quest for civil rights prior to the 1960s. Faced
with institutionalized racism, black Californians used both
established and improvised tactics to resist and survive the
state's color line. Hudson rediscovers forgotten stories like the
experimental all-black community of Allensworth, the California Ku
Klux Klan's campaign of terror against African Americans, the
bitter struggle to integrate public swimming pools in Pasadena and
elsewhere, and segregationists' preoccupation with gender and
sexuality.

Nantucket's People of Color is a fascinating study of Nantucket's
African population from historical, cultural, and racial
perspectives. While most other Africans were sold into slavery and
bondage, the African-Americans and Cape Verdeans on Nantucket
worked as free people and established communities and institutions
such as schools and churches. This anthology examines the
relationships that developed between Africans, Quakers, others of
European descent, and Cape Verdeans on Nantucket and the events and
controversies that both united and divided the larger community
along 'racial' lines. This anthology is the culmination of more
than ten years of scholarly research on the culture and history of
Nantucket Island by James Bradford Ames Scholars. The James
Bradford Ames Fellowship Program was established at the University
of Massachusetts Boston to foster research into the history and
culture of African-Americans and Cape Verdeans on Nantucket.
