_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.

Acerca de los autores

Ron Tarver (b. 1957) comes by his interest in contemporary Black cowboys through his own experience. His grandfather, Thomas Wilson, was a working cowboy during the 1940s who drove cattle along the Verdigris River, from Fort Gibson to Catoosa, Oklahoma, and was reported to have one of the best roping horses in the area. Tarver grew up in northeastern Oklahoma, in the small agricultural community of Fort Gibson, where he spent many long, hot summer days hauling hay and working on local farms. He received a B.A. in journalism and graphic arts from Northeastern State University in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, and an M.F.A. from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. Currently an Associate Professor of Art at Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania, he previously was a staff photojournalist at The Philadelphia Inquirer for thirty-two years. Nominated for three Pulitzer Prizes, he was part of the team that won the 2012 Award for Public Service Journalism for a series documenting school violence in the Philadelphia public school system, and he also has received other awards from World Press Photos and the Society of Professional Journalists Tarver's fine-art photographs have appeared in more than thirty solo and eighty group exhibitions, and they are in numerous collections, including the National Museum of American Art of the Smithsonian Institution, Oklahoma History Center, Philadelphia Museum of Art, State Museum of Pennsylvania, and Studio Museum in Harlem. He has been awarded a 2021 Guggenheim Fellowship in Creative Arts/Photography, a Pew Fellowship in the Arts, as well as funding from the National Endowment for the Arts and grants from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts and the Independence Foundation. He is co-author, with journalist Yvonne Latty, of We Were There: Voices of African American Veterans (Harper Collins, 2004), which was accompanied by a traveling exhibition that debuted at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia.

Art T. Burton (b, 1949) retired in 2015 after spending thirty-eight years in higher education as a history professor at Prairie State College and South Suburban College, both in Illinois, and as an administrator in African-American Student Affairs at Benedictine University, Loyola University Chicago, and Columbia College Chicago. He earned a B.A. and M.A. in African-American Studies at Governors State University, University Park, Illinois. He is the author of several books, including Black, Red and Deadly: Black and Indian Gunfighters in the Indian Territory, 1870-1907 (Eakin Press, 1991), Black Buckskin and Blue: African-American Scouts and Soldiers on the Western Frontier (Eakin Press, 2008), Cherokee Bill: Black Cowboy-Indian Outlaw (Eakins Press, 2020), and Black Gun, Silver Star: The Life and Legend of Frontier Marshal Bass Reeves (Bison Books, University of Nebraska Press, 2022). Burton was named a "Territorial Marshal" by Gov. David Walters of Oklahoma in 1995; inducted into the Hall of Fame at the National Multicultural Western Heritage Museum in Fort Worth, Texas, in 2008; and given the Living Legend Award by the Bare Bones Film Festival in Muskogee, Oklahoma, in 2015. He appeared on BET's Teen Summit with Mario Van Peebles, discussing the film, Posse, and on FOX Cables' Legends and Lies series, episode "The Real Lone Ranger," and was a participant in the AHC Cable series Gunslingers episode on Bass Reeves. Burton spoke on African-American and Native-American cultures at the B.B King Symposium at Mississippi Valley State University in 2018 and was the keynote speaker at the 10th Anniversary Bass Reeves Western History Conferences in Muskogee, Oklahoma, in 2019.
