For nearly 400 years, Black Americans have been torn between two
constructions of America: the Jeffersonian promise of a just
republic and the nightmare of racial oppression. This text traces
the emergence of Black political cultures in the United States from
slave resistances in the 16th and 17th centuries to the civil
rights movements of the late 20th century. Drawing on the
historical record, it argues that Blacks have constructed both a
culture of resistance and a culture of accommodation based on the
radically different experiences of slaves and free Blacks. The
author describes accommodation as informed by republicanism in the
early American national period and an identification with the
values, ideals and aspirations articulated in the Declaration of
Independence and the Constitution. Alternatively, resistance was
forged from a succession of quests: the return to Africa; escape
and alliances with anti-colonial native American resistance; and
eventually emigration.
