This anthology of black writers traces the evolution of
African-American perspectives throughout American history, from the
early years of slavery to the end of the twentieth century. The
essays, manifestos, interviews, and documents assembled here,
contextualized with critical commentaries from Marable and
Mullings, introduce the reader to the character and important
controversies of each period of black history. The selections
represent a broad spectrum of ideology. Conservative, radical,
nationalistic, and integrationist approaches can be found in almost
every period, yet there have been striking shifts in the evolution
of social thought and activism. The editors judiciously illustrate
how both continuity and change affected the African-American
community in terms of its internal divisions, class structure,
migration, social problems, leadership, and protest movements. They
also show how gender, spirituality, literature, music, and
connections to Africa and the Caribbean played a prominent role in
black life and history.
