Thesis (Ph.D.)--The University of New Mexico, 2003.

This study is focused on African American families in America's pioneer experience; it does not argue for the uniqueness of the experience. Without doubt, the pioneer experience and the settlement of the West was similar for all who embarked on this venture. However, with the exception of cowboys, military men and various and sundry heroes and larger-than-life historical figures, short shrift has been given to the pioneer settlements of African American families on the frontier, and the many all African American towns (which will be referred to as the "Black Towns") and communities that originated in the Trans-Appalachian West, the Southwest, and the Territories, once Native American land and the frontier were opened up to settlement. Thus, to date, the pioneer experiences of African American families are still relatively unknown. It is also my intention to try to bring together in one written document as much information and resource data as possible about the black settlements thought to have originated and existed in the Territory of New Mexico some time during the years 1897--1925.

520 $a This study is focused on African American families in America's pioneer experience; it does not argue for the uniqueness of the experience. Without doubt, the pioneer experience and the settlement of the West was similar for all who embarked on this venture. However, with the exception of cowboys, military men and various and sundry heroes and larger-than-life historical figures, short shrift has been given to the pioneer settlements of African American families on the frontier, and the many all African American towns (which will be referred to as the "Black Towns") and communities that originated in the Trans-Appalachian West, the Southwest, and the Territories, once Native American land and the frontier were opened up to settlement. Thus, to date, the pioneer experiences of African American families are still relatively unknown. It is also my intention to try to bring together in one written document as much information and resource data as possible about the black settlements thought to have originated and existed in the Territory of New Mexico some time during the years 1897--1925.
520 $a This research investigates the cultural experience of the African American family groups and their experiences as pioneers. Within the cultural enclaves of all Black towns and communities, family groups of African Americans settled and built a life for themselves. My thesis for this research is that these towns and communities are examples of a persistent people who have as a foundation a system of culture and identity which they brought to bear to sustain themselves during the process of adapting to and surviving in the unknown ecology of the Territory of New Mexico. I propose that self-determination and human agency, evidenced by "oppositional migration," in concert with culture change and adaptation are the forces at work to maintain the group. Self-empowerment and representational identity are also a part of this process of adaptation, relative to cultural change.
520 $a The significance of this research lies in its focus on a primary migration saga of a group of African American families who travelled from various southern states to the Territory of New Mexico, how they survived in the unknown ecology and environment of that area, and what they accomplished. To date there has not been an attempt to present a comprehensive, ethnographic study of this unusual event. My research augments the sparse data on the African American pioneers---the family perspective---and their contribution to the settlement of the western United States, as well as filling in a few of the gaps in African American ethnohistory.
