In a sweeping narrative that traverses 600 years, one that eloquently weaves precise historical detail with poignant personal reportage, Pulitzer Prize finalist Howard W. French retells the story of medieval and emerging Africa, demonstrating how the economic ascendancy of Europe, the anchoring of democracy in America, and the fulfillment of so-called Enlightenment ideals all grew out of Europe's dehumanizing engagement with the "darkest" continent. Born in Blackness dramatically retrieves the lives of major African historical figures whose stories have been repeatedly etiolated and erased over centuries, from unimaginably rich medieval African emperors who traded with Asia; to Kongo sovereigns who heroically battled seventeenth-century European powers; to ex-slaves who liberated Haitians from bondage. In doing so, French tells the story of gold, tobacco, sugar, and cotton-and the greatest "commodity" of all, the millions of people brought in chains from Africa to the New World, whose reclaimed histories fundamentally help explain our present world"-- |

In a sweeping narrative that traverses 600 years, one that eloquently weaves precise historical detail with poignant personal reportage, Pulitzer Prize finalist Howard W. French retells the story of medieval and emerging Africa, demonstrating how the economic ascendancy of Europe, the anchoring of democracy in America, and the fulfillment of so-called Enlightenment ideals all grew out of Europe's dehumanizing engagement with the "darkest" continent. Born in Blackness dramatically retrieves the lives of major African historical figures whose stories have been repeatedly etiolated and erased over centuries, from unimaginably rich medieval African emperors who traded with Asia; to Kongo sovereigns who heroically battled seventeenth-century European powers; to ex-slaves who liberated Haitians from bondage. In doing so, French tells the story of gold, tobacco, sugar, and cotton-and the greatest "commodity" of all, the millions of people brought in chains from Africa to the New World, whose reclaimed histories fundamentally help explain our present world"-- Geschichte 1471-1939 gnd rswk-swf Wirtschaft (DE-588)4066399-1 gnd rswk-swf Internationale Politik (DE-588)4072885-7 gnd rswk-swf Geschichtsschreibung (DE-588)4020531-9 gnd rswk-swf Europa (DE-588)4015701-5 gnd rswk-swf Afrika (DE-588)4000695-5 gnd rswk-swf Slave trade / Africa, West / History African diaspora / History History, Modern Africa / Relations / Europe / History Europe / Relations / Africa / History Africa / History Afrika (DE-588)4000695-5 g Europa (DE-588)4015701-5 g Wirtschaft (DE-588)4066399-1 s Internationale Politik (DE-588)4072885-7 s Geschichtsschreibung (DE-588)4020531-9 s Geschichte 1471-1939 z DE-604 Äquivalent Druck-Ausgabe, Paperback 2022 978-1-324-09240-7 Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe, EPUB 978-1-63149-583-0 |
