Buxton: A Black Utopia in the Heartland, an Expanded Edition (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780877458524)

From 1900 until the early 1920s, an unusual community existed in America's heartland. It was the largest unincorporated coal-mining community in Iowa and the majority of its 5000 residents were African Americans - unusual for a state which was over 90 per cent white.
