If you are of African ancestry you have to know your history before you can put your eyes on the future, with success. This is also a very good read for anyone that is not African American but wants to explore the history of Africans in America.

It has been revised at least 3 times since; and in this revision Lerone Bennett states he re-wrote many of the sections to update it to encompass present knowledge as opposed to the earlier editions that were 'revised' simply by making a few editorial changes.

The book is encyclopaedic: Bennett moves back in time in order to be able to deliver context, travelling as far back as history will allow and then takes it to , when this last edition was printed.

As one can imagine, needs must move this narrative by leaps and bounds: so one travels from 7th C BC Timbuktu to 15th century AD, in about 30 pages. A nice sweeping coverage for the uninitiated, but I was hoping for something more; something more scholarly perhaps. The other minor quibble I have with it is that Bennett relies mainly on secondary source material -- all fine and good for a survey for general consumption but leaves a mild disappointment for seeking the unadorned, unfiltered truth.

It's a must-read and a fascinating overview. Only or so pages of narrative, with lots of photographs to enhance the storyline; the next three hundred pages can be used as a quick reference chronology which begins in AD -- little snippets of important events that one can fly through with ease. I think it might be quite a handy tool for high school teachers, for instance; and for those kids who prefer to get their information in Twitter-sized notes. Better to ingest it this way, than not at all, imho.

There is a nice section entitled Black Firsts -- giving voice to those moments in time when Black Americans were finally able to break through the various social and cultural prisons carved out for them.

It's humbling to see life in that way: that one's merits had to be judged on the colour of the skin, and not the colours in their hearts and minds. In the end, a very quick and informative read from a hefty five pound book.

It's basically a Black version of the history books we're given in school. My daughter's too young to read it now, but in another 10 years or so, she's definitely reading this gem. A must read. The chapter on Lincoln puts a lot of things into perspective and casts a new light on "The Great Emancipator" A must read.

As an African American, I found this book not only very educational but also an interesting read. I expect that anyone interested in black history would enjoy it too.

Teaching Activity. By Ursula Wolfe-Rocca. If you would prefer a primary source, you won't do any better than Bartolome de las Casas's A Short Account of the Destruction of the Indies. Written by the Spanish friar for the king of Spain, it was meant to convince the Spaniards that their treatment of the native population was horrific and inhumane. His efforts were successful, and Native slavery was abolished. Unfortunately, African slaves quickly took their place.

Nevertheless, this is a chilling account of what life was like in America in the years after Columbus. Skip to main navigation Skip to main navigation Skip to search Skip to search Skip to content.
