This vital and thought-provoking book presents a bold and accessible overview of the history of the African continent and its peoples - from the earliest human migrations to modern Black communities and the African diaspora. <p/>Powerful images and innovative infographics bring to life the stories of the early kingdoms of Ancient Egypt, Nubia, and Carthage; the powerful empires of the Medieval and Early Modern eras; and the struggle against European colonizers. Black history and culture beyond the African continent is also explored in detail - including the Atlantic Slave Trade; the <i>quilombos</i> (slave resistance camps) of Brazil; the Harlem Renaissance and Jazz Age; the "Windrush" migration; Civil Rights and Black feminist movements; and Black Lives Matter. <p/>Using the "Big Ideas" series' trademark combination of authoritative, accessible text and bold graphics, <i>The Black History Book</i> examines the achievements and struggles of Black communities across the world up to the modern day, as well as the influence of Black cultures on art, literature, and music the world over.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Foreword writer David Olusoga</b> is a British-Nigerian historian, broadcaster, and filmmaker.
