From Slavery To Freedom: A History Of Negro Americans, 6th Edition

In this 6th Edition, the history of blacks in the Caribbean and Latin America is discussed as it relates to the history of blacks in the United States.  Incorporating recent scholarship, chapters covering slavery, the Civil War, and Reconstruction have been revised.  Material covering the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries has been expanded.  The period between World War I and World War II (including the Harlem Renaissance) has been thoroughly revised as a result of new scholarship and new interpretations.  In keeping with the authors' view that this is a history of all the people, there has been a significant increase of material dealing with popular culture.  Finally, the post-war period has been updated and extended into the mid-1980s.
