Before the Mayflower: A History of Black America
Description
Spanning centuries, this sweeping history traces the experiences of Black people in America from the powerful civilizations of Africa’s Nile Valley and western Sudan to the transformative freedom struggles of the 1960s. It places African American history within a broad global and national context, examining enslavement, resistance, cultural endurance, and the continuing pursuit of justice. Rich in historical detail and interpretive insight, the book challenges conventional narratives and illuminates the people, movements, and ideas that shaped Black America.
