The first in-depth examination at race relations in Arkansas during the forty years after the Civil War.

This review is from: TOWN AND COUNTRY:Race Relations in an Urban Rural Context, Arkansas,1865-1900 (Hardcover)

I have truly enjoyed this book. I had hoped to locate more information about the author. When you have background information on the author one has the tendency to interpret the book in a different form. However, this was a very interesting and detailing book about rural and urban areas. It gives the reader a broader understanding of segregation, political views and disfranchisement legislation in Arkansas during the 1890s.
