The two volumes of Kelley and Lewis's To Make Our World Anew integrate the work of        eleven leading historians into the most up-to-date and comprehensive account        available of African American history, from the first Africans brought as slaves        into the Americas, right up to today's black filmmakers and politicians. This first        volume begins with the story of Africa and its origins, then presents an overview of        the Atlantic slave trade, and the forced migration and enslavement of between ten        and twenty million people. It covers the Haitian Revolution, which ended        victoriously in 1804 with the birth of the first independent black nation in the New        World, and slave rebellions and resistance in the United States in the years leading        up to the Civil War. There are vivid accounts of the Civil War and Reconstruction        years, the backlash of the notorious "e;Jim Crow"e; laws and mob lynchings, and the        founding of key black educational institutions, such as Howard University in        Washington, D.C. Here is a panoramic view of African-American life, rich in gripping        first-person accounts and short character sketches that invite readers to relive        history as African Americans have experienced it.
