The definitive compendium on the American Black Experience,
By
This review is from: The African-American Archive : The History of the Black Experience Through Documents (Hardcover)
This is the definitive compendium on the American Black Experience. This 785-page book of documents reproduced from original sources, tracks the Black experience across four centuries, hitting all of the key sign posts: From the first slave ships that landed in Annapolis Maryland in 1619 to the O.J. Simpson trial of 1994. Complete speeches, critical laws and edicts are presented in their entirety in an eminently readable way. Superbly organized and well annotated.The only thing that comes close to this compendium is Kwame Anthony Appiah and Henry Louis Gates, Jr. Africana. The Appiah/Gates book is an Encyclopedia that better covers the connection to Africa and thus in this case only is a great deal more thorough. The Wright book is a bit pricey, so it is welcomed news to see that its companion is not in paper. Five Stars |
