Alien Soil: Oral Histories of Great Migration Newark explores Newark's Krueger-Scott African-American Cultural Center collection of over 100 oral histories. Historian Katie Singer separates these stories into thematic categories of social and political events, including church, work, and activism, in order to paint an intimate portrait of everyday urbanity and the larger Black urban experience in Newark. Through the examination of these Krueger-Scott narratives, Singer challenges historical falsehoods with the lived experiences of Newarkers who traveled North during the Great Migration, as well as established city residents. Alien Soil effectively contextualizes Newark history and re-inserts Black voices into historiography traditionally dominated by outsiders.
The book begins with the Krueger-Scott Mansion's deep history, followed by the sequence of events surrounding the proposed Cultural Center. Last owned by African-American millionaire and be
