Preface

One ever feels his two-ness,—an American, a Negro; two souls, two thoughts, two unreconciled striv-ings; two warring ideals in one dark body.” So wrote W. E. B. Du Bois in 1897. African-American his- tory, Du Bois maintained, was the history of this double- consciousness. Black people have always been part of the American nation that they helped to build. But they have also been a nation unto themselves, with their own expe- riences, culture, and aspirations. African-American his- tory cannot be understood except in the broader context of American history. Likewise, American history cannot be understood without African- American history.

Since Du Bois’s time, our understanding of both African-American and American history has been compli- cated and enriched by a growing appreciation of the role of class and gender in shaping human societies. We are also increasingly aware of the complexity of racial expe- riences in American history. Even in times of great racial polarity, some white people have empathized with black people and some black people have identified with white interests.

It is in light of these insights that The African-American Odyssey tells the story of African Americans. That story begins in Africa, where the people who were to become African Americans began their long, turbulent, and dif- ficult journey, a journey marked by sustained suffering as well as perseverance, bravery, and achievement. It includes the rich culture—at once splendidly distinctive and tightly intertwined with a broader American culture— that African Americans have nurtured throughout their history. And it includes the many-faceted quest for free- dom in which African Americans have sought to counter white oppression and racism with the egalitarian spirit of the Declaration of Independence that American society professes to embody.

Nurtured by black historian Carter G. Woodson dur- ing the early decades of the twentieth century, African- American history has, since the 1950s, blossomed as a field of study. Books and articles have been written on almost every facet of black life. Yet The African-American Odyssey is the first comprehensive college textbook of the African- American experience. It draws on recent research to present black history in a clear and direct manner, within a broad social, cultural, and political framework. It also provides thorough coverage of African-American women as active shapers of that history.

The African-American Odyssey balances accounts of the actions of African- American leaders with investigations

of the lives of ordinary men and women in black com- munities. This community focus makes this a history of a people rather than an account of a few extraordinary indi- viduals. Yet the book does not neglect important political and religious leaders, entrepreneurs, and entertainers. It gives extensive coverage to African-American art, literature, and music.

Because African-American history starts in Africa, this book begins with an account of life on that continent to the sixteenth century when the forced migration of millions of Africans to the Americas began. The following two chap- ters present the struggle of black people to maintain their humanity during the slave trade and as slaves in North America during the long colonial period.

The coming of the American Revolution during the 1770s initiated a pattern of black struggle for racial justice in which periods of optimism alternated with times of repres- sion. Several chapters analyze the building of black com- munity institutions, the antislavery movement, the efforts of black people to make the Civil War a war for emancipa- tion, their struggle for equal rights as citizens during Recon- struction, and the strong opposition to these efforts. There is also substantial coverage of African-American military service, from the War for Independence through American wars of the nineteenth, twentieth, and into the twenty-first centuries.

During the late nineteenth century and much of the twentieth century, racial segregation and racially motivated violence that relegated African Americans to second-class citizenship provoked despair, but also inspired resistance and commitment to change. Chapters on the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries cover the Great Migration from the cotton fields of the South to the North and West, Black Nation- alism, and the Harlem Renaissance. Chapters on the 1930s and 1940s—the beginning of a period of revolutionary change for African Americans—tell of the economic devastation and political turmoil caused by the Great Depression, the growing influence of black culture in America, the emergence of black internationalism, and the racial tensions caused by black par- ticipation in World War II.

The final chapters tell the story of African Americans in the closing decades of the twentieth century and the first decades of the twenty-first century. They portray the free- dom struggles and legislative successes of the civil rights movement at its peak during the 1950s and 1960s and the electoral political victories of the Black Power movement during the more conservative 1970s and 1980s. Finally, there are discussions of black life during the past 15 years,

“

A01_HINE3955_07_SE_FM.indd 33 11/14/16 5:40 PM

with focus on the election, reelection, and achievements of Barack Obama, the first African-American president of the United States. The last chapter focuses on the national and international impact of contemporary black culture pro- duced by the hip-hop generation as it wrestles with issues of social justice, economic opportunity, and human rights.

In all, The African-American Odyssey tells a compel- ling story of survival, struggle, and triumph over adversity. It will leave readers with an appreciation of the central place of black people and black culture in this country and a better understanding of both African-American and American history.
