Bricks Without Straw: A Comprehensive History of African Americans in Texas by David A. Williams
Requirements: .PDF reader, 4 Mb
Overview: Bricks Without Straw was planned as a collection of essays and articles designed to make the unique culture, history, and contributions of African-American Texans known to a broader audience. This collection makes a rare quality publication about the cultural, social, political, and economic history of African-American Texans. It is designed to be used as supplemental material for secondary and higher education, as a library reference, or as a general reference book for the serious and casual reader.
The book covers the period from the appearance of the first non-Anglo explorer on Texas soil to the appointment of the first African American as president of a major university in the University of Texas System. The emphasis is on individual and collective achievement. The treatment is of traditional and nontraditional roles of groups and individuals and their involvement in Texas history. Exploration, colonization, revolution, the Republic, reconstruction, the depression, the war years, the modern period, and contemporary years are covered. The overall aim is to introduce the reader to the variety of individuals and institutions that are historically significant and relevant to the total Texas history scenario.
Students and casual readers are provided with information of exemplary participation by African-American Texans in important periods of Texas history. This provides a basis for stronger self-identification and appreciation for the total heritage of the state.
Non-African-American students and casual readers are afforded an opportunity to learn that important historical periods of Texas include the contributions of African-American Texans. This promotes a wider appreciation of the value of individuals of other ethnic groups and counteracts biases based on misinformation.
All readers are afforded the basis for greater understanding and appreciation of the multi-ethnic contributions to the building of Texas.
Genre: Non-Fiction > History
