African Americans in the West (Cultures in the American West) ReviewNot often taught in public school classes on American history is the fact that African Americans played a substantial role in the exploration and settling of the West. Beginning with runaway slaves who found refuge with Native American tribes, to post-Civil War immigration resulting in the founding of African American communities, to the rise of the cattle empires where fully one-third of all cowboys were black men. This last is particularly ironic when considering that the first few decades of Hollywood cowboy movies rarely, if ever, depicted a black man as a cowboy or ranch hand. Now the historical story of African American migration, settlement, and overall presence in the American West is presented in admirable detail in "African Americans In The West" by Douglas Flamming (Professor of History, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, Georgia). Part of the outstanding ABC-CLIO 'Cultures in the American West' series, "African Americans In The West" has as its primary focus an impressive history of African American involvement with western development from 1815 down to the present day. Of special note is the chapter on 'Historiography and Current Issues' which concludes this comprehensive and superbly written history. Enhanced with the inclusion of a chronology, a glossary, a selected bibliography, and an index, "African Americans In The West" is a seminal contribution to academic and community library African American Studies and American History reference collections, and commented to the attention of non-specialist general readers with an interest in the role of African Americans in the settling of the west.African Americans in the West (Cultures in the American West) Overview
