"Black Saga: The African American Experience presents the people, places, and events that have shaped the culture and identity of Blacks in the United States. From the African kingdoms that thrived in the days before Columbus to the struggles that continue today, Black Saga's panoramic scope offers a vivid, definitive picture of this rich and complex history." "More than a chronology of dates and events, Black Saga interweaves the histories of famous figures with those of unsung heroes. Here are the stories of escaped slaves Ellen and William Craft, California pioneer and entrepreneur Biddy Mason, inventor and businessman Jan Matzeliger, and civil rights activist Hannah Atkins. With more than 230 illustrations - many of them rare - Black Saga also provides information on key issues and accomplishments, Black elected officials from Reconstruction to the present, Black-owned businesses and news papers, and Black musicians, athletes, and recipients of the Congressional Medal of Honor."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Dutch forces invade the provincial capital of Recife, capturing the world center of sugar production from the Portuguese. Enslaved Africans use the ensuing chaos to escape, and the population of runaways living in the hinterland grows. These communities are called quilombos-the African Bantu word for war camp. Palmares is the largest of these quilombos with a population growing to more than 30,000 African men and women living free and independent in the Americas for the first time. ***1654After years of skirmishes, battles, and open war, Portuguese forces retake the region and its capital Recife. Now it is time to turn their attention to capturing the Africans back into slavery. After twenty-four years in Palmares, a new generation of Black men and women is being born and raised in freedom.In this debut novel indie author Erick Maia retells the story of its greatest leader: Zumbi dos Palmares.

Lavina: The Saga of an African Princess (The Complete Story) depicts a heartrending, and sometimes distressful, historical narrative of a beautiful young tribal princess named Lavina from West Africa. This poignant narrative tells how she and her promised one Rabboni were unmercifully taken from their homeland and brought to the colony of Virginia. They were then sold as slaves to endure the harsh abuses and cruelties of the fields. Separated and alone, Lavina is purchased by a compassionate elderly couple, while Rabboni suffers at the hands of different slave owners. However, with deep and abiding faith in their Almighty Protector, they miraculously find each other again and fulfill the promise made at their sacred market place. Told in graphic and honest detail, this author's portrayal of their deep faith in their Almighty Protector shows again and again how these two unfortunate people survived the harsh and intricate system of oppression marshaled against them. This historical narrative is an excellent read for all Americans, particularly young African Americans, interested in learning more about the American history involving their ancestor's most horrific existence as slaves in Colonial Virginia. Read and examine the painful, yet moving and exultant triumph of Lavina: The Saga of an African Princess (The Complete Story).

When wealthy Mississippi cotton planter Isaac Ross died in 1836, his will decreed that his plantation, Prospect Hill, should be liquidated and the proceeds from the sale be used to pay for his slaves' passage to the newly established colony of Liberia in western Africa. Ross's heirs contested the will for more than a decade, prompting a deadly revolt in which a group of slaves burned Ross's mansion to the ground. But the will was ultimately upheld. The slaves then emigrated to their new home, where they battled the local tribes and built vast plantations with Greek Revival-style mansions in a region the Americo-Africans renamed “Mississippi in Africa.” In the late twentieth century, the seeds of resentment sown over a century of cultural conflict between the colonists and tribal people exploded, begetting a civil war that rages in Liberia to this day. Tracking down Prospect Hill's living descendants, deciphering a history ruled by rumor, and delivering the complete chronicle in riveting prose, journalist Alan Huffman has rescued a lost chapter of American history whose aftermath is far from over.

Global capitalism, under the WTO rules and the economic power of the West, is attempting to revolutionise developing countries' economic structures and institutions. But Africa was ill-prepared to face the 'international free-trade imperialism' of the 1850s and is now less prepared to survive in the global economic order. In careful detail Tetteh Kofi and Asayehgn Desta examine the economic conditions in Africa during the pre-colonial and colonial periods and provide bold strategies crucial for African development.

African Saga is an authoritative discussion of the African experience in South America, starting with African origins, the colonial experience as captive laborers, and the contemporary period. It includes an extensive discussion of the African towns set up by runaway slaves, which proliferated in the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries. The author gives an extensive discussion of African resistance to the slave trade. Nina S. de Friedemann is considered one of Latin America's foremost authorities on the African Diaspora, and this book includes detailed ethnohistorical and ethnographic data based on the author's research over three decades in every area of African life in Colombia. The author wrote seventeen books, largely on this subject, but this one is considered the summation of her life's work. She was one of the creators of the field of Afro-Colombian studies, and she was the Latin American coordinator for the UNESCO Project on the Route of the Slave.
