The Historical and Cultural Atlas of African AmericansUntil now, most documentation of African-American society has been scattered throughout books, encyclopaedias, or among governmental agencies. This book is a comprehensive, spatial representation of the African-American experience from African origins to the present day social and economic realities, as viewed within regional and national frameworks. It also provides an important new look at such significant figures as Booker T. Washington, Marcus Garvey, and Martin Luther King, Jr. The numerous maps, photographs and illustrations offer an opportunity to visualize the extent of African-American cultural influences in the United States. |
