About this product

Product Information

A major social and educational experiment in race relations was conducted in Berea, Kentucky, from 1866 to 1904. During those years Berea contained a community, school, and church which were all fully integrated: white people, mostly from the Kentucky Appalachian region, and black people, former slaves and their children, from the Blue Grass country, lived, worked, and studied together in an atmosphere designed to foster social equality. Sears demonstrates that integration and social equality among the races are not unrealizable ideals; at Berea in the second half of the 19th century these ideals were lived out in practical terms. The Berea project was killed by state and federal legislation, not by being intrinsically unworkable.

Reviews
"...Sears...presents a cogently written, thoroughly documented history of this "Utopian experiment" during the decades when it was "a well-known and singular example that black people and white people could live, work, study, worship, and play together, the period when integration and social equality actually worked."" Utopian Studies, "The devourer of all things Civil War will likely ignore this book because of the title's subject matter and time frame....This is unfortunate; this work is an important contribution to the history of American slavery, the abolitionist movement's role in the eduction of former slaves, and most importantly, the vision and forty-year-long successful operation of the only fully intergrated community and educational experiment in the South following the Civil War....The historian will find the text, generous end notes, and the excellent bibliography to be of great value in broadening their familiarity with the educational and religious contexts of the time. Sears has produced a true labor of love yet has largely distanced his passions and partiality from the work. He has pulled no punches, and his fair and comprehensive treatment offers a great rewards to the interested reader and scholar." Civil War History
