Americans from Africa seeks to convey varying perspectives on the
"Black Experience" in the United States and its controversial
history. This volume, Slavery and Its Aftermath, deals with four
major issues: the extent of African influences on the lives of
those enslaved and brought to America, beginning with an essay on
"Africanisms in Everyday Life" by Melville J. Herskovits; the
impact of slavery on personality and social structure, sometimes
called "The Elkins Debate;" similarities and differences in life
for African Americans in the South and in the North; and matters of
community, class, and family, including the full text of the
"Moynihan Report" and several pointed critiques. In addition to the
commentaries by and on the works of Herskovits, Elkins, and Daniel
Patrick Moynihan, other contributors to Volume I include Kenneth B.
Clark, Mina Caulfield Davis, E. Franklin Edwards, Eugene Genovese,
Ulf Hannerz, Charles S. Johnson, Leroi Jones, and Charles Keil. The
second volume, Old Memories, New Moods, contains essays on the
roots of black protest; the background and character of the Civil
Rights Movement; interpretations of the impact and significance of
Black Power, and varied views on changing self-images of being
African American.
