Description

This encyclopaedia traces the rich and varied tapestry woven by Africans - from those who remained on their ancestral continent to those who were forced to leave their homes and begin again in a new land. Its coverage includes: people - scientists, civil rights leaders, artists, explorers, and key figures in ancient African history; places - the nations and major cities of Africa, as well as its former empires and kingdoms; culture - the Harlem renaissance, jazz, the Negro Basketball League, rap; politics - key groups, movements, and events, including the voting rights struggle in the United States and the victory over apartheid in South Africa; and history - the major events of the African-American past, including slavery and resistance to it, abolitionist and civil rights movements, reconstruction, and pan-Africanism.
