| Summary: | The author gives us a sumptuously illustrated, book tracing African American history from the arrival of the conquistadors to the election of Barack Obama. Informed by the latest, scholarship, and including more than eight hundred images, ancient maps, art, documents, photographs, cartoons, posters, this book focuses on defining events, debates, and controversies, as well as the achievements of people famous and obscure. He takes us from the sixteenth century through the ordeal of slavery, from the Civil War and Reconstruction through the Jim Crow era and the Great Migration; from the civil rights and black nationalist movements through the age of hip-hop on to the Joshua generation. By documenting and illuminating the sheer diversity of African American involvement in American history, society, politics, and culture, he bracingly disabuses us of the presumption of a single "Black Experience." |
