Lire des livres The African-American Odyssey: Volume 2
By Darlene Clark Hine
A compelling story of agency, survival, struggle and triumph over adversity
More than any other text, The African-American Odyssey illuminates the
central place of African-Americans in U.S. history by telling the story of what it
has meant to be black in America and how African-American history is
inseparably woven into the greater context of American history. From Africa to

Americans, the rich culture they have nurtured throughout their history and the
quest for freedom through which African-Americans have sought to counter
oppression and racism. This text also recognizes the diversity within the

impact each has had on the struggle for freedom. MyHistoryLab is an integral
