Well researched and Documented History which is to help one better understand that this is History, About a people whom have not been giving a true chance in having their history told alongside the history they are connected too.

[EN:]
From Slavery To Freedom is a classic non-fiction work that explores the social, economic, political, and cultural dimensions of African-American history until the 1980-90s. It includes several images, photos, and excerpts of official documents, and writings by influential members of the Black community. The authors also do not shy away from the multiplicity of positions among the African-American people.
Despite being a renowned study of the history of Black-Americans where female contributions to the fight for freedom are limited to the communal and familiar dimensions they directly occupy. Their roles are barely mentioned. As wives and mothers first in the African continent, and later in the Americas during the slavery period; as brief participants in the 19th-century abolitionist movement; as an unclear part of the “rough estimate of the total number of Negroes in the armed services during World War II”, except for the Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service. Other than a few mentions of female organizations, such as YWCA and WPC, and certain figures, such as Mrs. Rosa Parks, their efforts behind the civil rights movement are overlooked, when compared to their male counterparts.
Nonetheless, it gives an idea of the conceptualization of race-based discrimination and of the development of the fights against it.

From Slavery To Freedom é uma obra clássica de não ficção que explora as dimensões sociais, económicas, políticas e culturais da história afro-americana até os anos 1980-90. Inclui várias imagens, fotos e excertos de documentos oficiais e de escritos de membros da comunidade negra. Os autores também não se esquivam da grande variedade de posições dentro da comunidade afro-americana.
Apesar de ser um famoso estudo da história dos afro-americanos, esta obra limita as contribuições femininas para a luta pela liberdade às dimensões comunitárias e familiares. Seus papéis são pouco mencionados. Como esposas e mães primeiro no continente africano e depois nas Américas durante o período da escravatura; como breves participantes do movimento abolicionista do século XIX; como uma parte pouco explícita da “estimativa aproximada do número total de negros nas forças armadas durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial”, exceto para o Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service. Além de algumas menções a organizações femininas, como YWCA e WPC, e certas figuras, como Rosa Parks, os esforços das mulheres por detrás do movimento dos direitos civis são negligenciados, quando comparados aos seus pares masculinos.
No entanto, From Slavery To Freedom transmite uma ideia da conceptualização da discriminação racial e do desenvolvimento das lutas contra este tipo de injustiça social.

Definitely not the worst textbook I've ever had to read. I daresay I enjoyed it!

this amazing book guided me through my coursework at school on whether Black people or the government contributed the most towards legal change for Black Americans from 1865 to 1964. without this book i would never have done my coursework on such a high level. it covers everything from ancient times to Obama’s presidency, is very academic, has lots of additional resources and references and is reliable. if i could, i would give this book 6 out of 5 stars for how helpful and accessible it is.
