Crossing the Danger Water - Deirdre Mullane (editor)

Three hundred years of African-American writing

KORTE INHOUD

The most comprehensive collection of writing by and about African-Americans ever to appear in one volume.
Never before has such an impressive and far-reaching mix of writings by African-Americans been gathered together into a single anthology.
Combining an extensive collection of poetry, prose, speeches, songs, documents, and letters dating from the pre-Colonial era through today's best and most well-known writers.
'Crossing the Danger Waters' offers a testament to the pervasive influence of African-Americans on the political, creative, and cultural development of this nation, even well before its inception.
This important collection introduces readers to long neglected and relatively unknown items, such as the crossing letters of anonymous slave rebels, or the petition for freedom from a group of Bostonian slaves to the governor of their colony - written almost a century before the Civil War. All of the most famous names are included, too, ranging from turn-of-the-century writers W.E.B. Du Bois and Ida B. Wells-...
