To Make Our World Anew : Volume ii

This book is the only comprehensive, illustrated history of African Americans. Written by the most prominent of the new generation of historians, this book describes how African Americans have shaped and changed the history of this country. It traces the history of Africans in America from 1502 to the present. The book looks at American history from the unique perspective of African American, paying special attention to the forging of African American communities, the changing statues of African Americans over time, and the transformation that has been wrought through social protest. Primary sources are used extensively, and there will be an 8-page insert of colour illustrations of cultural significance.
