Krátky popis
Four Hundred Souls is an epoch-defining history of African America,
the first to appear in a generation, told by ninety leading Black
voices -- co-curated by Ibram X. Kendi, author of the million-copy
bestseller How To Be an Antiracist. The story begins with the
arrival of twenty Ndongo people on the shores of the first British
colony in mainland America in 1619, the year before the arrival of
the Mayflower.In eighty chronological chapters, each by a different
author and spanning five years, the book charts the
four-hundred-year journey of African Americans to the present - a
journey defined by inhuman oppression, visionary struggles and
stunning achievements - in a choral work of exceptional power and
beauty. Contributors include some of the leading writers,
historians, journalists, lawyers, poets and activists of
contemporary America. They use a variety of techniques - historical
essays, short stories, personal vignettes and fiery polemics - and
approach history from various perspectives: through the eyes of
towering historical icons or the untold stories of ordinary people,
populating these pages with hundreds of extraordinary lives and
personalities.Together they illuminate countless new facets to the
story of slavery and resistance, segregation and survival,
migration and self-discovery, reinvention and hope. Through its
diversity of perspectives the book shows that to be African
American means many different things and demonstrates the startling
range of experiences and ideas that have always existed within the
community of Blackness. Four Hundred Souls is an essential work
that redefines America and the way its history can be told.
