This rich cultural history of African Americans outlines their
travails, triumphs, and achievements in negotiating individual and
collective identities to overcome racism, slavery, and the legacies
of these injustices from colonial times to the present. One of
every five Americans at the nation's beginning was an African
American—a fact that underscores their importance in U.S. growth
and development. This fascinating study moves from Africans' early
contacts with the Americas to African Americans' 21st-century
presence, exploring their role in building the American nation and
in constructing their own identities, communities, and cultures.
Historian and lawyer Thomas J. Davis's multi-themed narrative of
compelling content provides a historical overview of the rise of
African Americans from slavery and segregation in their anti-racist
quest to enjoy equal rights and opportunities to reach the American
Dream of pursuing happiness. The work features portraits of
individuals and treats images of African Americans in their roles
as performers, producers, consumers, and creators, and as the face
of social problems such as crime, education, and poverty.
