Book Reviews of Before the Mayflower: A History of Black America
Book Review: Amazing African American History
Summary: 5 Stars
This book details some amazing points of history that I have never learned about anywhere else. For example it explores how the "Emancipation Proclimation" didn't really do anything to help the American slaves. Because it only granted freedom to slaves in the south, which at the time Lincoln had no real jurisdiction since he didn't control the south at that time. He could have freed the slaves in the north too, but he didn't. That's just one example.
Summary of Before the Mayflower: A History of Black America
The black experience in America?starting from its origins in western Africa up to the present day?is examined in this seminal study from a prominent African American figure. The entire historical timeline of African Americans is addressed, from the Colonial period through the civil rights upheavals of the 1960s and 1970s. The most recent scholarship on the geographic, social, economic, and cultural journeys of African Americans, together with vivid portraits of key black leaders, complete this comprehensive reference.
