More About the Author
Product Description
Review
?A splendid, compelling achievement for all collections.?-Choice
Product Description
This volume traces the social history of African American men from the days of slavery to the present, focusing on their achievements, their changing image, and their role in American society. The author places the contemporary issue of Black men's disproportionate involvement with criminal justice within its social and historical context, while analyzing the most significant movements aiming to improve the status of Blacks in our society. The book's main thesis is that an ever-changing, yet ever-present, process of criminalization has entrapped Black men throughout history, thus creating a major barrier to their collective development. The topics discussed include the role of Blacks in the Civil War, Booker T. Washington, the Civil Rights movement, and the Million Man March.

New Perspective on American History
11 Oct 2001
Format:Hardcover
This is an excellent book that presents American history from the perspective of Black men. The author reviews major historical events and examines their impact on the African American male population. The book covers social history and looks at the political economy of the Black male population, and offers new insights in the fields of American history, Black studies and gender studies. Must reading for the serious scholar but also for the person interested in learning more about African American history.
