W. E. B. Du Bois, 1897. . . The African-American Odyssey tells the story of African Americans a story that begins in Africa,where the people who were to become African Americans began their long, turbulent, and difficult journey,a journey marked by sustained suffering as well as perseverance, bravery, and achievement. It includes therich culture—at once splendidly distinctive and tightly intertwined with a broader American culture—thatAfrican Americans have nurtured throughout their history. And it includes the many- faceted quest forfreedom in which African Americans have sought to counter white oppression and racism with theegalitarian spirit of the Declaration of Independence that American society professes to embody.Nurtured by black historian Carter G. Woodson during the early decades of the twentieth century, AfricanAmerican history has blossomed as a field of study since the 1950s. Books and articles have appeared onalmost every facet of black life. Yet this survey is the first comprehensive college textbook of the AfricanAmerican experience. It draws on recent research to present black history in a clear and direct manner,within a broad social, cultural, and political framework. It also provides thorough coverage of AfricanAmerican women as active builders of black culture.
