Black and Brown: African Americans and the Mexican Revolution, 1910–1920

Black and Brown explores the lives and experiences of African Americans living in the southern United States borderlands with Mexico during the Mexican Revolution from 1910 to 1920, how the revolution affected them, and how they impacted the revolution.{{sfn|Krauthamer|2007}}{{sfn|Williams|2007}}

Horne's account sheds light on the political climate that made the Mexican border a relatively safe location for African Americans before it became dangerous during the Revolutionary period. The examination covers the involvement of African Americans in conflicts with indigenous populations, the dynamics between African Americans and immigrants, and the U.S. government's concerns about the allegiance of African Americans. He also explores the heavy reliance of the U.S. on African American soldiers along the border and how this resulted in a struggle between white supremacy and national security.{{sfn|Leiker|2006}}{{sfn|Levinson|2007}}

The book is arranged chronologically into chapters, each looking at a different and progressive aspect of African American life along the border.
