The Negro

Beschreibung

Originally published in 1915 written by William Edward Burghardt Du Bois (1868-1963), an American sociologist, the book was acclaimed in its time, widely read, and deeply influential in both the white and black communities, yet this beautifully written history is virtually unknown today. The book is an overview of African-American history, tracing it as far back as the sub-Saharan cultures, including Great Zimbabwe, Ghana and Songhai, as well as covering the history of the slave trade and the history of Africans in the United States and the Caribbean. "Important by any standard."--Kirkus
