Product Description
This exciting series provides students with gracefully written narratives about important aspects of the black experience in the United States. Blending original documents written by participants and observers with an insightful analysis of different periods in American history, each volume provides young readers with an understanding of the broad issues that this country faced as well as the daily struggles of ordinary African-American men and women. Quotations and information from primary sources, historical drawings, photographs, and maps lend immediacy to every narrative and an up-to-date bibliography and detailed index enhance the reference value of each volume. This volume covers all aspects of the African diaspora -- the dispersion of African peoples and cultures in the New World as a result of the slave trade, and their influence on religion, art, music, literature, language, and many other areas of American culture. Coverage spans the entire African-American experience, from its beginnings to the present day, in the United States, the Caribbean, and South America -- with its main concentration on North America. It also details the changing relationship between America and the African continent throughout the years.
