Black Dixie: Afro-Texan History and Culture in Houston

By Cary Wintz

An innovative contribution to the growing body of research about urban African American culture in the South, Black Dixie is the first anthology to track the black experience in a single southern city across the entire slavery/post-slavery continuum. It combines the best previously published scholarship about black Houston and little-known contemporary eyewitness accounts of the city with fresh, unpublished essays by historians and social scientists. Collectively, the contents of Black Dixie utilize the full range of primary sources available to scholars studying the black South. Book jacket.
