Liberation Historiography: African American Writers and the Challenge of History, 1794-1861
by John Ernest
On This Page
Description
As the story of the United States was recorded in pages written by white historians, early-19th-century African American writers faced the task of piecing together a counterhistory. Here, John Ernest demonstrates that African Americans created a body of writing in which the spiritual, the historical and the political are inextricably connected.Tags
