The black experience in America has been one of pain; struggle; and perseverance; placed against a backdrop of cultural identity that would not be beaten down or eradicated in the face of adversity. Born of this combination of effort and identity and shaped by experience is the African-American; whose resultant cultural identity and history has for far too long remained only partly defined and incompletely documented. Filling this void; at last; is The Encyclopedia of African-American Culture and History - an authoritative; five volume work dealing with all aspects of the African-American experience from 1619 to the present day. With over 2;300 entries; 2;500 pages; and more than 1;000 photographs; maps; and charts; the Encyclopedia encompasses a broad range of topics in an effort to fully define in one source both the cultural roots and the current condition of the African-American community.

The perfect Afican Anerican History TextbookBy Sheva QuinnAs an African American Homeschool Educator this book severs perfectly as an AAH textbook.Dr. QuinnQSTREAM UNIVERSITY1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. classroom or culturally competent institution should be without a copy of this great work rendered the world through DrBy Cheryl D. HolmesThe African American AtlasThe historical and cultural atlas of African Americans provides colorful pages filled with primary and secondary source facsimiles in the form of: maps; charts; pictures and various other reproductions. The evidentiary data housed within the text was carefully gathered via a balance of in-depth interviews with numbers of individuals across the globe. The authors of this text release truths seldom addressed publically regarding the wealth and breathe of resources given humanity through free and enslaved Black peoples originating from mother Africa. Explanatory data on a myriad of subjects within a chronological context ensures the information provided within this text is balanced with rich firsthand accounts of pivotal events; the thoughts; talk and actions of individuals and groups of people whose lives greatly impacted the days and lives of those now identified as Black/Africans in America/African Americans. No home; classroom or culturally competent institution should be without a copy of this great work rendered the world through Dr. Molefi Kete Asante and Mark T. Mattson.
