“African American History: An Introduction offers an inspiring history of Black America, anti-Blackness in very inconspicuous intimate spaces. It highlights the need for a broader study of color in America through the lens of geographical, chronological and conceptual terms. The third edition brings a fresh understanding to historical events as well as ties the past to present concerns and issues in African American communities. The book also provides a contextual nexus between American institutions, African History, and the struggles of people of African descent. This book is suitable for students of various ages, the general public, and anyone who has an interest in African American History.”—Lemuel Berry, Jr., Executive Director, National Association of African American Studies and Affiliates
"In colleges and universities across the country there is a stunning contradiction. Many people recognize the significance of the election of Barack Obama to the Presidency of the United States, and at the same time they have little knowledge about the history of those whose courage and sacrifice made the event possible. Dr. Turner-Sadler’s study will help rectify this deficiency. The new edition is considerably updated, and at the same time it remains immanently readable, thorough, and accessible to students at many different levels. The volume lends itself well to many different disciplines and a wide variety of courses."—Edwin Clausen, Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of the College, Daemen College
