Produktbeskrivning
_The Long Ride Home: Black Cowboys in America_ is the first book to tell the story of the Black cowboy experience in contemporary America. Although Black cowboys have been a fixture on the American landscape and frontier since the nineteenth century, few people are aware of their enduring contributions to the history of the West and how their unique culture continues to thrive today in urban as well as rural areas all over the country.The book features Ron Tarver’s beautiful, compelling, and often surprising contemporary images of African-American cowboys that not only convey the Black cowboy’s way of life and its rich heritage, but also affirm a thriving culture of Black-owned ranches and rodeo operations, parades, inner-city cowboys, retired cowhands, and Black cowgirls of all ages, too.
Tarver, who grew up in a family of Black cowboys in Oklahoma, uses his artistry to question, if not upend, long-held notions of what it means to be a cowboy and, with that, what it means to be an American._The Long Ride Home_ couldn’t be more timely, coming on the heels of films such as Lil Nas X’s hit time-travel western, _Old Town Road_ (2019), and Idris Elba’s _Concrete Cowboy_ (2021), which was based on Greg Neri’s _Ghetto Cowboy_ (2013), about Philadelphia’s contemporary African-American cowboy culture.
Many of Tarver’s images were made in some of the same Philadelphia neighborhoods. Widespread interest in the Black experience in America will also make this book an especially important contribution to Black history.In addition to Tarver’s photographs, _The Long Ride Home_ includes an essay by Art T.
Burton, an expert on the history of Black cowboys. This book is both a tribute to and celebration of the Black cowboy in America. It is certain to be an invaluable addition to American history for years to come.
