Summary:
"Perhaps no other symbol has more resonance in African American history than that of “40 acres and a mule” -- the lost promise of
Black
reparations for slavery after the Civil War. In I’ve
Been
Here
All
the
While
, we meet the
Black
people who actually received this mythic 40 acres, the American settlers who coveted this
land
, and the
Native
Americans whose holdings it originated from. Through chapters that chart cycles of dispossession,
land
seizure, and settlement in Indian Territory, Alaina E. Roberts draws on archival research and family history to upend the traditional story of Reconstruction. She connects debates about
Black
freedom
and
Native
American citizenship to westward expansion on to
Native
land
. As
Black
, white, and
Native
people constructed ideas of race, belonging, and national identity, this part of the West became, for a short time, the last place where
Black
people could escape Jim Crow, finding
land
and exercising political rights, until the Tulsa Race Massacre in 1921."--Publisher.
