A biographical approach to the African American experience
The Struggle for Freedom provides a compelling narrative of the black experience in America centered around individual African American lives. Authors Clayborne Carson, Emma Lapsansky-Werner and Gary Nash weave African American history into a larger story of American economic and political history. Throughout, the authors emphasize African Americans’ insistent call to the nation to deliver on the constitutional promises made to all its citizens.
New topics in the 3rd Edition include the legacy of Obama’s presidency and the state of the contemporary struggle for African American freedom.
