Opis

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.
