This book examines the historiography of the African American
freedom struggle from the 1890s to the present. It considers how,
and why, the study of African American history developed from being
a marginalized subject in American universities and colleges at the
start of the twentieth century to become one of the most
extensively researched fields in American history today. There is
analysis of the changing scholarly interpretations of African
American leaders from Booker T. Washington through to Barack Obama.
The impact and significance of the leading civil rights
organizations are assessed, as well as the white segregationists
who opposed them and the civil rights policies of presidential
administrations from Woodrow Wilson to Donald Trump. The civil
rights struggle is also discussed in the context of wider,
political, social and economic changes in the United States and
developments in popular culture. -- .
