Significantly revised and updated, this definitive work is a visual and narrative portrait of the African-American culture, heritage, and people.Comprehensive in scope, this Atlas chronicles important periods in African-American history that have shaped the outlook, lives, and hopes of African Americans today. From the origins in Africa to the transatlantic journey, from slavery to the Civil Rights Movement, this highly illustrated reference work presents a well-balanced account of the diverse African-American culture and its people who struggled and continue to struggle to overcome obstacles and achieve success.

From Library Journal This oversized (10 x 12), profusely illustrated book offers encyclopedic treatment of the African American experience from African origins to present-day social and economic realities. In addition to the printed text, which is written at the high-school level, the book contains numerous photographs, diagrams, and charts. But what distinguishes the work from similar sources, such as the Encyclopedia of Black America ( LJ 5/15/81), is its 65 informative and clearly drawn maps. Prepared by Mattson, an experienced cartographer, the maps emphasize historical trends (e.g., "African Americans in the Wild West," "Plantations of the Ante-Bellum South," "Pre-Civil War Slave Economy"), while others furnish contemporary demographic data ("African American Families in Poverty, 1989") and distribution information ("Location of African American Newspapers"). Occasional factual errors mar the book. For instance, the now-discredited story that black surgeon and blood bank pioneer Charles Drew bled to death in 1950 because an all-white hospital refused to admit him is repeated as fact. Nevertheless, the atlas will be a valuable addition to school and public library reference collections.- Kenneth F. Kister, Tampa, Fla.Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc.

The African American People: A Global History

Routledge

This book tells the story of the heroes of the liberation movements in the southern part of Africa. Asante takes aim at not only the dehumanizing legacy of the racist policy of aparheid, but also what he calls "internalized inferiority" on the part of many African leaders. Like our prophets of antiquity, Asante warns of the consequences of the delay in reclaiming the minds of African people, especially the minds of their leaders, an actualization he refers to as the ultimate liberation. This mind liberation, Asante posits passionately, can be rooted in Afrocentrism.
