Publisher Synopsis
"Brent M. S. Campney details lynchings and other forms of anti-Black violence from the antebellum era to the 1940s in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, and Kansas. . . . Hostile Heartland succeeds in demonstrating that the Midwest was not paradise for African Americans." --Journal of African American History"With clear, engaging prose, Campney's Hostile Heartland: Racism, Repression, and Resistance in the Midwest speaks to the historiographies of the Midwest's importance, lynching and antiblack violence more generally, and activism." --American Historical Review"Brent M. S. Campney returns to the themes of his groundbreaking work This is Not Dixie: Racist Violence in Kansas, 1861-1927 in which he argued that white Kansans liked to imagine that their state was a model of enlightened progress in race relations. . . . Hostile Heartland thoroughly and convincingly documents the chilling ferocity of racist violence." --Kansas History Read more...
