Abstract:African Americans participated in homesteading in the Great Plains primarily by establishing “colonies” or geographically concentrated homesteading communities. We studied Nicodemus, Kansas; DeWitty, Nebraska; Dearfield, Colorado; Empire, Wyoming; Sully County, South Dakota; and Blackdom, New Mexico, which were the largest and most important Black homesteading communities in their states. Black homesteaders, like their white counterparts, were mostly very poor, struggled to grow crops in a harsh climate, and used the land they gained to build new futures. But because of their previous experiences in the South and racism in some nearby communities, Black homesteaders developed a distinct understanding of their efforts, particularly of schooling and the “success” of their communities.

大平原定居中的非裔美国宅基地“殖民地”

摘要:非裔美国人主要通过建立“殖民地”或地理上集中的宅基地社区来参与大平原的宅基地建设。我们研究了堪萨斯州的尼哥底母;内布拉斯加州德威蒂;科罗拉多州迪尔菲尔德;帝国,怀俄明州;南达科他州萨利县;和新墨西哥州的布莱克多姆,这是他们所在州最大和最重要的黑人家园社区。黑人自耕农,和他们的白人同行一样,大多非常贫穷,在恶劣的气候下努力种植庄稼,并利用他们获得的土地建设新的未来。但由于他们之前在南方的经历和附近一些社区的种族主义,黑人自耕农对他们的努力,特别是对学校教育和社区的“成功”有了清晰的理解。
