A biographical approach to the African American experience
The Struggle for Freedom: A History of African Americans provides a compelling narrative of the black experience in America centered around individual African American lives. Emphasizing African Americans' insistent call to the nation to deliver on the constitutional promises made to all its citizens, authors Clayborne Carson, Emma Lapsansky-Werner, and Gary B. Nash weave African American history into a larger story of American economic and political history. The 3rd Edition offers fully updated content on the legacy of Barack Obama's presidency, the state of the contemporary struggle for African American freedom, and the meaning of the 2016 presidential election.
