What is African American women confront the West : 1600-2000 about?

African American Women Confront the West, 1600-2000 is the first major historical anthology on the topic. Editors Quintard Taylor and Shirley Ann Wilson Moore argue that African American women in the West played active, though sometimes unacknowledged, roles in shaping the political, ideological, and social currents that have influenced the United States over the past three centuries. <p>Contributors to this volume explore African American women's life experiences in the West, their influences on the experiences of the region's diverse peoples, and their legacy in rural and urban communities from Montana to Texas and from California to Kansas. Mining individual and collective biographies, first-person narratives, and interviews, the essayists explore what it has meant to be an African American woman, from the era of Spanish colonial rule in eighteenth-century New Mexico to the black power era of the 1960s and 1970s.</p>
