From the late eighteenth century through the end of the Civil War; Choctaw and Chickasaw Indians bought; sold; and owned Africans and African Americans as slaves; a fact that persisted after the tribes' removal from the Deep South to Indian Territory. The tribes formulated racial and gender ideologies that justified this practice and marginalized free black people in the Indian nations well after the Civil War and slavery had ended. Through the end of the nineteenth century; ongoing conflicts among Choctaw; Chickasaw; and U.S. lawmakers left untold numbers of former slaves and their descendants in the two Indian nations without citizenship in either the Indian nations or the United States. In this groundbreaking study; Barbara Krauthamer rewrites the history of southern slavery; emancipation; race; and citizenship to reveal the centrality of Native American slaveholders and the black people they enslaved. Krauthamer's examination of slavery and emancipation highlights the ways Indian women's gender roles changed with the arrival of slavery and changed again after emancipation and reveals complex dynamics of race that shaped the lives of black people and Indians both before and after removal.

It is a bit of Iowa history; cooking; and also a travelogue of places to visit in Iowa. One can just pick it up; open it up to any page and enjoy a 2 or 3 page discussion of Iowa people and places and the particular food that they might have brought from their native land. So far; I have ordered more copies to give away to a friend and one son0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Delightful and DeliciousBy JoyNealKidneyWhat a fun and mouth-watering way to soak up some local history; along with why we Iowans eat the things we do. Darcy Maulsby discusses they whys and hows of Iowa foods from our Native Americans and Lewis and Clark to Iowa State University and Dr. Norman Borlaug. She mentions so many local favorites from Jolly Time Popcorn to Younkers Tea Room recipes (chicken salad and my favorite Rarebit Burgers); and immigrant recipes like Czech/Bohemian Kolaches to newer ones such as Strawberry Pretzel Squares. Who knew there's even a John Wayne Casserole!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Iowa Food History -- well doneBy Marylyn L GillespieThis book; by a 'local author' met all my expectations and then some --- she did such an excellent job of researching the history of foods in our state and weaving it all together in a most enjoyable; readable fashion and the pictures were excellent. Particularly the one of the bowl of chili with the cinnamon roll. Just sayin'.
