<strong>Slavery</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>Liberation</strong>: <strong>The</strong> <strong>African</strong> <strong>American</strong> <strong>Experience</strong> gives instruc<strong>to</strong>rs, students, and general readers<br />

a comprehensive and up-<strong>to</strong>-date account of <strong>African</strong> <strong>American</strong>s’ cultural and political his<strong>to</strong>ry, economic<br />

development, artistic expressiveness, and religious and philosophical worldviews in a critical framework.<br />

It offers sound interdisciplinary analysis of selected his<strong>to</strong>rical and contemporary issues surrounding the<br />

origins and manifestations of White supremacy in the United States. By placing race at the center of the<br />

work, the book offers significant lessons for understanding the institutional marginalization of Blacks<br />

in contemporary America and their his<strong>to</strong>rical resistance and perseverance.<br />
