Review
------
Praise for the first edition: No other anthology so
fully incorporates views from African American women as well as
men, workers as well as intellectuals, and individuals from
diverse political perspectives..... (Johnnetta B. Cole, president
emerita of Spelman and Bennett Colleges)
Praise for the first edition: A remarkably broad compilation of
the signal primary sources through which black people articulated
both their always shifting and always various definitions of
what, precisely, a black identity is, as well as the most
efficacious methods through which to achieve our freedom. Marable
and Mullings have produced a work indispensable to the field of
African-American Studies.... (Henry Louis Gates Jr., Harvard
University)
Praise for the first edition: Manning Marable and Leith
Mullings's text gives us a powerful interpretation and
compilation of exemplary voices in the black past and present.
Their progressive vision is a breath of fresh air and badly
needed in these times.... (Cornel West, Union Theological
Seminary)
Praise for the first edition: A readable, comprehensive,
fascinating and thick anthology of African American documents
that are as gripping as they are informative. Powerful, dramatic,
hard to put down, this comprehensive volume of both significant
leaders and ordinary people with highly perceptive views, should
find a place in many college courses.... (Afro Times)
Praise for the first edition: There is no comparable volume that
can match the comprehensive coverage in this first, single-volume
documentary history of black thought. . . . Essential
reading..... (George M. Fredrickson, Stanford University)
