A
Concise History of African America
is a superbly written, insightful book that richly informs and
intellectually stimulates the reader. It is a concise, fact-packed,
engaging account of the history of the African American people; it
is also a riveting thought piece that at several junctures
challenges people to consider the idea that racist attitudes and
institutions of the urban North in the 20th century have
been more responsible for the current dilemmas of inner city African
American life than has the legacy of slavery as such. The book is
ultimately a celebration of a vibrant African American culture that
has produced some of the foremost heroes of American journalism,
business, religion, political organization, music, culinary art, and
technological innovation. |
