"Drawing from hundreds of hours of taped interviews and journalistic observation, Dent uncovers the widespread diversity of the lives of the black majority - middle and upper-middle-class African Americans. Along the way, Dent encounters a most eclectic and insightful array of characters. Through their lives, he not only examines and questions the most common American beliefs about race and politics but also explores issues that go beyond race and touch on social and moral questions that Americans of any hue confront."--BOOK JACKET.

The Black American A Documentary History Glen P. Watkins, Author The purpose of this work is to present an overall view of the black race in American culture from slavery until 1992. The long voyage across the Atlantic involved weeks of nightmarish misery, suffering, and death. Slaves were kept in close quarters of ships with little space between the decks. They were manacled except when taken to the top deck for exercise while their quarters were being cleaned with vinegar. This was a journey of horror marked by death from dysentery, small pox, and the yaws. Some slaves committed suicide by the strange African method of swallowing the tongue. Destined to become an integral part of American history, the presence of African Americans markedly shaped the life and history of the 13 colonies. By many measures, the relative position of African Americans has scarcely improved. Undoubtedly, many have made impressive gain, but after more than 40 years, the majority has not sufficiently improved their relative standing. African Americans and other ethnic groups have acquired limited progress in social mobility. This exciting history is a part of all American regardless of ethnicity or social standing and should be known by all Americans. Learn the story in The Black American: A Documentary History.

The African American People is the first history of the African American people to take a global look at the role African Americans have played in the world. Author Molefi Kete Asante synthesizes the familiar tale of history’s effect on the African people who found themselves forcibly part of the United States with a new look at how African Americans in later generations impacted the rest of the world. Designed for a range of students studying African American History or African American Studies, The African American People takes the story from Africa to the Americas, and follows the diaspora through the Underground Railroad to Canada, and on to Europe, Asia, and around the globe. Including over 50 images documenting African American lives, The African American People presents the most detailed discussion of the African and African American diaspora to date, giving student the foundation they need to broaden their conception of African American History.

The African Americans: Many Rivers to Cross is the companion book to the six-part, six-hour documentary of the same name, which aired on national, prime-time public television in the fall of 2013. The series is the first to air since 1968 that chronicles the full sweep of 500 years of African American history, from the origins of slavery on the African continent and the arrival of the first black conquistador, Juan Garrido, in Florida in 1513, through five centuries of remarkable historic events right up to today—when Barack Obama is serving his second term as President, yet our country remains deeply divided by race and class. The book explores these topics in even more detail than possible in the television series, and examines many other fascinating matters as well, such as the ethnic origins—and the regional and cultural diversity—of the Africans whose enslavement led to the creation of the African American people. It delves into the multiplicity of cultural institutions, political strategies, and religious and social perspectives that African Americans have created in the half a millennium since their African ancestors first arrived on these shores. Like the television series, this book guides readers on an engaging journey through the Black Atlantic world—from Africa and Europe to the Caribbean, Latin America, and the United States—to shed new light on what it has meant, and means, to be an African American. By highlighting the complex internal debates and class differences within the Black Experience in this country, readers will learn that the African American community, which black abolitionist Martin R. Delany described as a "nation within a nation," has never been a truly uniform entity, and that its members have been debating their differences of opinion and belief from their very first days in this country. The road to freedom for black people in America has not been linear; rather, much like the course of a river, it has been full of loops and eddies, slowing and occasionally reversing current. Ultimately, this book emphasizes the idea that African American history encompasses multiple continents and venues, and must be viewed through a transnational perspective to be fully understood.

African Americans are the descendents of a great and mighty people. However, today, despite over 50 years of so-called progress, the African-American community faces a myriad of obstacles that contribute to our continued disenfranchisement and marginalization. With an increase in black-on-black crime, drug abuse, drug dealing, gang-related violence, illiteracy, and a lack of spiritual development; not to mention our economic and political deficiencies, African Americans are struggling to gain true equality, prosperity, and respect here in America.Over the last 50 years, African Americans have heard many speeches, read many books, and attended demonstration marches and protest rallies; however, today, the descendants of African slaves are as dysfunctional as ever. The concepts and strategies of the "Black-print" are focused towards uplifting African Americans to a level of success that is unprecedented in these United States. The Black-print intends to remove the tarnish and stigma that has been a burden to the descendants of African slaves for hundreds of years. The Black-prints aspires to reveal the beauty, dignity and power of a once great and mighty people.What I am about to proclaim in the Black-print will no doubt be controversial, dismissed by some as "too lofty" of a goal, some will classify it as divisive. Some will even attempt to discredit me and the strategies and concepts proposed in the Black-print. This will not deter me; I know that I speak the truth. The spirits of my ancestors flows through my soul. I feel as though the "warrior spirit" of my ancestors permeates my essence. This spirit has been inside of me for as long as I have known myself. Therefore; I can do nothing else but fight the injustices perpetrated against the descendants of African slaves.African Americans must answer the call, the call that says: You were once a great and mighty people, why have you forsaken your family, your culture, and your religion? A call that says: Why do you deny your heritage and forget the pain and suffering we endured? Why havent you redeemed our honor and reestablished our greatness within your adopted country as well as aboard? This is a book that should be read by every African American who desires a better life.African Americans will never be respected as individuals until African Americans are respected as a people! The Black-print contains bold and radical solutions a solid, detailed plan to address the problems that afflict the descendants of African slaves and raise them to a level unprecedented in the United States of America. This book gets to the heart of the many problems and obstacles faced by the African American community and presents an opportunity to subdue the destructive forces that continue to block our path towards wealth, prosperity and respect. The Black-Print is a call to action - a call that must be answered!
