About this book

Until now most documentation of African-American society has been scattered throughout books encyclopaedias or among governmental agencies. This book is a comprehensive spatial representation of the African-American experience from African origins to the present day social and economic realities as viewed within regional and national frameworks. It also provides an important new look at such significant figures as Booker T. Washington Marcus Garvey and Martin Luther King Jr. The numerous maps photographs and illustrations offer an opportunity to visualize the extent of African-American cultural influences in the United States.
