Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by the most prominent of the new generation of historians, this superb volume offers the most up-to-date and authoritative account available of African-American history, ranging from the first Africans brought as slaves into the Americas, to today's black filmmakers and politicians. Here is a panoramic view of African American life, rich in gripping first-person accounts and short character sketches that invite readers to relive history as African Americans experienced it. We begin in Africa, with the growth of the slave trade, and follow the forced migration of what is estimated to be between ten and twenty million people, witnessing the terrible human cost of slavery in the colonies of England and Spain. We read of the Haitian Revolution, which ended victoriously in 1804 with the birth of the first independent black nation in the New World, and of slave rebellions and resistance in the United States in the years leading up to the Civil War. There are vivid accounts of the Civil War and Reconstruction years, the backlash of notorious "Jim Crow" laws and mob lynchings, and the founding of key black educational institutions. The contributors also trace the migration of blacks to the major cities, the birth of the Harlem Renaissance, the hardships of the Great Depression and the service of African Americans in World War II, the struggle for Civil Rights in the 1950s and '60s, and the emergence of today's black middle class. From Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass to Martin Luther King, Jr., and Louis Farrakhan, To Make Our World Anew is an unforgettable portrait of a people.

Download or read book A New Birth of Freedom written by Robert Ingraham and published by Robert Ingraham. This book was released on 2024-03-26 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American Revolution was the greatest anti-slavery revolution in history. From the founding of the Plymouth colony up through the Washington Presidency, Americans fought for the creation of a new society based on a universal identity of human creativity. This work begins in colonial days, goes through the Washington Presidency and the leadership of Alexander Hamilton, the continuing fight of the "black abolitionists," and concludes with the Lincoln Presidency and Ulysses Grant's battle for human equality. The enemy of the United States throughout this entire period was the British Empire and the anti-human pro-slavery and pro-narcotics policies it attempted to impose. Sections of this book focus on Hamilton and the U.S, Constitution; Hamilton's economic policies; Gouverneur Morris, John Jay, DeWitt Clinton and the Erie Canal; the racism of Jefferson, Madison and Monroe; the Black Abolitionists; the great Shakespearean actor James Hewlett; the role of the British Empire in creating global slavery; the relationship between Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln; and Ulysses S. Grant's battle with the Ku Klux Klan. This book is an antidote to the current fad of portraying America as a nation based on slavery and racism.

Download or read book A New Psychology of Women written by Hilary M. Lips and published by Waveland Press. This book was released on 2016-05-04 with total page 728 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rich, original, and transformative, the latest edition of A New Psychology of Women examines how gender-related expectations interact with other cultural assumptions and stereotypes, and with social and economic conditions, to affect women’s experiences and behavior. Absorbing narratives centered on essential topics in psychology and global research engage readers to grasp cutting-edge insights into the psychological diversity of women. Aware that our own cultural experience colors and limits what we think we know about people, veteran educator and scholar Hilary Lips imbues her discussions with international examples and perspectives to provide an inclusive approach to the psychology of women. A wide range of new and extensively updated topics optimize readers’ knowledge of how disparate perspectives from cultures throughout the world shape women’s behavior and attitudes toward: health care / violence against women / poverty / labor force participation / occupational segregation / unpaid work / stereotyping and discrimination / expectations about power within marriage / female genital mutilation / theories of gender development / women’s attitudes toward their bodies / use of social media / media portrayals of girls and women / women in political leadership roles Among thoroughly updated topics particular to US culture are same-sex marriage, Latina women’s issues, the portrayal of women of different ethnic and cultural groups on television, and breast cancer survival rates of African American and European American women. Boxed items containing learning activities, profiles of women who helped shape psychology, and suggestions for making social changes appear throughout the text. Each chapter concludes with discussion questions, key terms, suggestions for additional reading, and Web resources.

Download or read book Modern America A Documentary History of the Nation Since 1945 written by Robert H Donaldson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-12-18 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This primary source reader assembles key documents and firsthand accounts that are emblematic of American life from the end of World War II to the present. Designed to complement a core text for a typical post-1945 U.S. history course, the book offers conciseness and selectivity with balanced coverage of domestic and foreign, societal and cultural issues grouped together chronologically. The readings afford students compelling and sometimes startling insights into the nation's postwar adaptation to its new position of global power and responsibility, wealth, and rapid social change; on through years of energy and ambition, conflict and tragedy, to the post-Vietnam malaise and the rise of Ronald Reagan, the frenzied nineties, and the arrival of the new millennium. Each chapter includes an introduction that sets the documents in historical context, a biographical sketch of a significant person of the time, study questions, and suggestions for further reading.
