Synopsis

Incorporating the basic features and narrative from The African-American Odyssey, this concise history presents its major episodes, issues and people. Ideally suited for one-semester courses, or for instructors who want a brief core text, it tells a compelling story of survival, struggle, and triumph over adversity―leaving students with an appreciation of the central place of black people and culture in this country, and a better understanding of both African-American and American history.
