Nonfiction-- "Black Women of the Old West" by William Loren Katz -- Black women were always part of America's westward expansion. Some escaped slavery to live with the Native Americans, while others traveled west after the Civil War to settle the new lands. They came as servants and as independent pioneers struggling to make a life in the wilderness.

esearching outfits for the Netflix western The Harder They Fall, the costume designer Antoinette Messam got a history lesson in the process. The film’s story is fictional, but it draws on the real-life black cowboys of the west, including Nat Love, Bill Pickett, Rufus Buck and characters such as Stagecoach Mary, who delivered mail across the US, protecting it from bandits with a shotgun. It is now thought that one in four cowboys were black, but this reality has been whitewashed from history. “

“Unsilenced: Indigenous Enslavement in Southern Colorado” — one of the first dedicated to highlighting the little-known and centuries-old system of Indigenous bondage that historian Andrés Reséndez called “the other slavery” in his landmark 2016 book.
I’ve written many times over the years about my 2x great grandfather, who was a US Civil war veteran, U.S. Deputy Marshal (who rode with Bass Reeves, played by Delroy Lindo), and was a leader among the Cherokee Freedmen. He was enslaved by a Cherokee named Alzirah May.
Tiffany Lethabo King dares to think the simultaneously distinct yet edgeless relationship between Blackness and Indigeneity. It’s the geological formation of the shoal — that zone just offshore, neither land (often reductively linked to the Native) nor sea (often reductively linked to the Black) — that allows King to pull off this ethical project.
