Abstract
EXCERPT: The essays in Beyond Forty Acres and a Mule span a wide range of perspectives. Some focus on the sheer weight of racism and its stifling effect on efforts by African American farmers to become landowners, while others focus more on the triumphs of farm families in the face of Jim Crow. The rich yet discrete nature of these studies, however, highlights opportunities for future scholarship and the need for many more localized studies, as well as the need for scholars to begin to synthesize the experiences of African American farm families.
