This book is the second of a two-volume set exploring the controversies about the experiences of Americans from Africa. It contains essays on the roots of protest, including the original "Confessions of Nat Turner;" the background and character of the Civil Rights Movement; the origins and impact of Black Power; and, finally, in "Negroes Nevermore," varied views on the meaning of Black Pride.

Included here are selections written by black and white social scientists, psychiatrists, historians, and political figures offered in careful juxtaposition. Among the contributors are Raymond and Alice Bauer, Robert Blauner, Stokely Carmichael, Erik Erikson, Martin Luther King, Jr., Joyce Ladner, C. Eric Lincoln, August Meier and Elliott Rudwick, Tom Mboya, Gerald Mullin, Alvin Poussaint, and Mike Thelwell.

Volume I, Slavery and Its Aftermath, addresses four other issues: the retention of "Africanisms;" the impact of slavery on personality and culture; differences in the experiences of living in the South and North; and matters of community, class and family.

Originally published in 1970, these volumes have stood the test of time. Each of the issues considered still resonate in American society and all are critical to understanding many matters that still confront many Americans from Africa.

Industry Reviews
On Volume One and Volume Two: "This collection of papers is one of the best of an outpouring of new readers on race issues... The editor, Peter I. Rose, has done a great service in bringing these groupings so coherently together... Whether looked upon as matters of serious social policy or as crucial questions for further social research, responsible resolution of these issues still requires a great deal of important homework. Rose is to be congratulated for reminding us of this so powerfully with this thoughtfully organized reader."-Paul S. Denise, Contemporary Sociology "These two volumes provide a compendium of the kaleidoscope of roots, patterns, consequences, and meaning of the black protest."-Tommy Rogers, The Journal of Negro History "Taken together, the two volumes of the Americans from Africa series provide a comprehensive selection of articles on the black experience... Peter I. Rose has done a masterful job of illuminating the central debates concerning the past, present, and future of the American Negro."-William McCord, Social Forces
