Book Description
"Black Saga: The African American Experience presents the people, places, and events that have shaped the culture and identity of Blacks in the United States. From the African kingdoms that thrived in the days before Columbus to the struggles that continue today, Black Saga's panoramic scope offers a vivid, definitive picture of this rich and complex history." "More than a chronology of dates and events, Black Saga interweaves the histories of famous figures with those of unsung heroes. Here are the stories of escaped slaves Ellen and William Craft, California pioneer and entrepreneur Biddy Mason, inventor and businessman Jan Matzeliger, and civil rights activist Hannah Atkins. With more than 230 illustrations - many of them rare - Black Saga also provides information on key issues and accomplishments, Black elected officials from Reconstruction to the present, Black-owned businesses and news papers, and Black musicians, athletes, and recipients of the Congressional Medal of Honor."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Book Description
African Saga is an authoritative discussion of the African experience in South America, starting with African origins, the colonial experience as captive laborers, and the contemporary period. It includes an extensive discussion of the African towns set up by runaway slaves, which proliferated in the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries. The author gives an extensive discussion of African resistance to the slave trade. Nina S. de Friedemann is considered one of Latin America's foremost authorities on the African Diaspora, and this book includes detailed ethnohistorical and ethnographic data based on the author's research over three decades in every area of African life in Colombia. The author wrote seventeen books, largely on this subject, but this one is considered the summation of her life's work. She was one of the creators of the field of Afro-Colombian studies, and she was the Latin American coordinator for the UNESCO Project on the Route of the Slave.
