Pressezitat
"African American History: An Introduction offers an inspiring history of Black America, anti-Blackness in very inconspicuous intimate spaces. It highlights the need for a broader study of color in America through the lens of geographical, chronological and conceptual terms. The third edition brings a fresh understanding to historical events as well as ties the past to present concerns and issues in African American communities. The book also provides a contextual nexus between American institutions, African History, and the struggles of people of African descent. This book is suitable for students of various ages, the general public, and anyone who has an interest in African American History."-Lemuel Berry, Jr., Executive Director, National Association of African American Studies and Affiliates
