Reviews
""Each essay answers many questions in regard to race being a cultural construction that was used as a tool to dehumanize. Kremer tells how people maneuvered social and political oppression and conjured the will to survive in the most dismal circumstances. In addition to these lessons, the epilogue in Race and Meaning provides a list of new sources available to Missouri history researchers. Overall, the author tells us why this type of work is important, and like any public historian, he provides directives on how to do it.""--Arkansas Review ""Thematically cogent and highly readable, Race and Meaning is a useful collection for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as general readers, seeking familiarity with the state's past or interested in African American historiography.""--Kansas History ""A crash course in African American history from the end of the Civil War to the 1960s.""--Missouri Life
