Stuckey, Slave Culture - Nationalist Theory and the Foundations of Black America

Abstract

Slave Culture is a stimulating and well researched study into the social history of black America since the early colonial period up to the late 1930s. Professor Stuckey writes with the ease and clarity rarely found in more recent texts of black history. Slave Culture provides meaningful elaboration and examination of black society both in pre- and post-slavery America. In addition to an indepth overview of black culture and society, the author provides the reader with useful and relevant case studies of selected black Americans. The major figures included in the book are David Walker, Henry Highland Gamet, W.E.B. DuBois, and Paul Robeson.
