Abstract
This volume contains 26 essays by various authors that describe people, times, issues, and places to help us understand Kansas history and its future. It assesses both positive and negative experiences, while covering a surprising amount of the state’s social, political, economic, and cultural history, Topics include the depopulation of the Kansa Indians, the influx of blacks before the Civil War, Eisenhower, Brown v Board of Education of Topeka, and the future of Kansas agriculture and rural communities.
Although all footnotes have been removed and some articles are abridged, the full citation for each selection guides readers who wish to read the entire piece. Each chapter has an introduction and concludes with a short bibliography of books and articles for future reading. Numerous photos enhance the text. This collection is designed to help us better understand our cultural diversity and roots and to develop a sense of community and shared responsibility. Kansas is indeed a land of contrast and contradictions.
