Description

Explore the complex history of the Black Experience in the United States through this scholarly volume from Routledge. Americans from Africa: Slavery and its Aftermath provides a deep look into the historical forces that shaped African American life and identity. This book examines four central themes that define this history. It begins by looking at African influences on the lives of those brought to America, featuring the essay "Africanisms in Everyday Life" by Melville J. Herskovits. The text also addresses the impact of slavery on social structure and personality, often referred to as "The Elkins Debate." Readers will find detailed analysis comparing the experiences of African Americans living in the North versus the South. Additionally, the volume covers essential topics regarding community and class.
