Summary:
“From journalist Hannah P. Jones on Jamestown’s first slaves to historian Annette Gordon-Reed’s portrait of Sally Hemings to the seductive cadences of poets Jericho Brown and Patricia Smith,
Four
Hundred
Souls
weaves a tapestry of unspeakable suffering and unexpected transcendence.”—O: The Oprah Magazine. The story begins in 1619 -- a year before the Mayflower -- when the White Lion disgorges “some 20-and-odd Negroes” onto the shores of Virginia, inaugurating the
African
presence in what would become the United States. It takes us to the present, when
African
Americans, descendants of those on the White Lion and a thousand other routes to this country, continue a journey defined by inhuman oppression, visionary struggles, stunning achievements, and millions of ordinary lives passing through extraordinary
history
.
Four
Hundred
Souls
is a unique one-volume “community”
history
of
African
Americans. The editors, Ibram X. Kendi and Keisha N. Blain, have assembled ninety brilliant writers, each of whom takes on a five-year period of that four-hundred-year span. The writers explore their periods through a variety of techniques: historical essays, short stories, personal vignettes, and fiery polemics. They approach
history
from various perspectives: through the eyes of towering historical icons or the untold stories of ordinary people; through places, laws, and objects. While themes of resistance and struggle, of hope and reinvention, course through the book, this collection of diverse pieces from ninety different minds, reflecting ninety different perspectives, fundamentally deconstructs the idea that Africans in
America
are a monolith -- instead it unlocks the startling range of experiences and ideas that have always existed within the
community
of Blackness.This is a
history
that illuminates our past and gives us new ways of thinking about our future, written by the most vital and essential voices of our present."--Publisher.
