How 'bout red/black relations in US history, aka the history of interactions between African- and Native Americans? Arica Coleman's "That the Blood Stay Pure" (about a state of great interest to the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities :-) is a recent (and listenable) work directly on this topic. Jace Weaver's "The Red Atlantic" is more "red-focused," but introduced me to red/black figures like Paul Cuffee (about whom I had not heard--nor did I know that Crispus Attucks was mixed-race).
