From Bondage to Liberation Writings by And About Afro-Americans From 1700 to 1918

This collection represents both black & white voices, of different cultural backgrounds, from the beginnings of American history through the Dawn of the Harlem Renaissance. Until the late 1960s, nonwhite authors were omitted from mainstream texts. Only in the 1980s did studies begin to reflect the multicultural diversity of the U.S. Ironically, Afro-Amer. literature collections concentrated on black authors excluded from the traditional Anglo-Amer. canon. This vol. attempts a literary & cultural bridge across the racial divide. It represents new views on such figures as Abraham Lincoln, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Mark Twain, Frederick Douglass, & many others. Presents an unflinching, multifaceted view of the lit'y. history of race relations in the U.S.Berry, Faith is the author of 'From Bondage to Liberation Writings by And About Afro-Americans From 1700 to 1918', published 2001 under ISBN 9780756783518 and ISBN 0756783518.
