by Lawrence Carter (Editor), Jodi Henderson (Editor), Tina Davis (Editor)

Overview

In Slavery and its Consequences: Racism, Inequity and Exclusion in the USA, the contributors tell rich narratives about how slavery and racial injustice, as well as the resistance to it, has shaped the country over centuries to become what modern America is today. Through various lenses, the book explores and celebrates Black American history as it is woven into the cultural and social structures of the country. Across centuries of change, this book weaves together the invaluable influence this history has had on music, sport, philosophy, literature, publishing, scholarship, politics, faiths, poetry, the church, photography, civil rights, peacebuilding, jazz and more as part of the struggle and the resistance.
