Description

Charles Johnson (au); Patricia Smith (au). A riveting narrative history of America, from the landing in Jamestown to the brink of the Civil War, this book tells our shared history as seen through the lens of slavery. It is told from the point of view of the Africans who came in shackles, created the agricultural foundation & wealth of this nation, & forever bore the yoke of racism. This tightly woven & meticulously researched historical narrative unites original documents, first-hand accounts, 12 short stories by Charles Johnson, & vivid, sometimes startling illustrations, into one volume that illuminates our country’s contradictory history & the effects of slavery & racism on our conflicted national identity.
