Along the way, we also meet Jane Goodall and several other renowned primate researchers and caretakers. This is travel...

During the nineteenth century, literate Russians and educated American blacks encountered a dominant Western narrative of world civilization that seemed to ignore the histories of Slavs and African Americans. In response, generations of Russian and black American intellectuals have asserted eloquent counterclaims for the cultural significance of a collective national "soul" veiled from prejudiced Western eyes. "Up from Bondage" is the first study to parallel the evolution of Russian and African American cultural nationalism in literary works and philosophical writings.
