{"product_id":"the-african-texans-9781585443505","title":"The African Texans","description":"Immigrants of African descent have come to Texas in waves--first as free blacks seeking economic and social opportunity under the Spanish and Mexican governments, then as enslaved people who came with settlers from the deep South. Then after the Civil War, a new wave of immigration began. In \u003ci\u003eThe African Texans\u003c\/i\u003e, author Alwyn Barr considers each era, giving readers a clear sense of the challenges that faced African Texans and the social and cultural contributions that they have made in the Lone Star State. With wonderful photographs and first-hand accounts, this book expands readers' understanding of African American history in Texas.
