“Race and Ethnicity in Arkansas is an exceptionally strong contribution to the history of Arkansas and the U.S. South. It is rare to find an edited volume that is so superbly structured and that contains uniformly strong contributions. There is not a weak link among the twelve chapters. Together, this collection not only provides a remarkably comprehensive exploration of race and ethnicity in Arkansas since the 1800s, but also challenges us to think about the place of race within broader struggles over land, labor, state power, culture, and gender relations. It forces us, in short, to think about Arkansas history from new perspectives.”
