Encyclopedia of African-American Heritage, Third Edition

Susan Altman

Description

Praise for the previous edition:

"Every reference library...should have a copy...Highly recommended."
—Book Report

"...a useful, dependable, and attractive encyclopedia."
—American Reference Books Annual

Now in its third edition, this highly acclaimed and comprehensive reference offers a wealth of information on African-American history, politics, and culture. Chronicling more than a millennium of history, the encyclopedia traces the rich and varied tapestry woven by Africans—from those who remained on their ancestral continent to those who were forced to leave their homes and begin again in a new land. 

Coverage includes:

• People: scientists, civil rights leaders, artists, explorers, politicians, athletes, and key figures in ancient African history


• Places: nations and major cities of Africa, as well as former empires and kingdoms


• Culture: the Harlem Renaissance, jazz, the Negro Baseball League, rhythm and blues, calypso, and rap


• Politics: key political groups, movements, and events, including the voting rights struggle in the United States and the victory of the African National Congress over apartheid in South Africa


• History: major events of the African-American past, including slavery and resistance to it, the abolitionist and civil rights movements, Reconstruction, and Pan-Africanism.
