Produktbeschreibung

The first encounters between Africans and the Native
people on the North American continent occurred 250
years before the establisment of the United States.
Both groups would suffer terribly throughout the
European conquests and the ensuing American quest
for "Manifest Destiny". Through a comprehensive
review of historical events, selected literature,
and sociological theories, this book explores the
relations between Blacks and American Indians -
their shared yet separate histories of subjugation
and oppression. It traces the westward movement of
Whites, Blacks, and Native Americans with focus on
the ever-increasing mixing of blood that would come
to characterize much of the Oklahoma Territory
population. For those interested in the dark side
of American history -- the stories not told in
standard textbooks -- this book offers a strong
foundation for reflection and inquiry.
