Free book (Nook) - Becoming American [Social History]

[ATDrake]

Becoming American: The African-American Journey, a non-fiction social history work by Howard Dodson, is one of the Free Fridays selections over at B&N, and the first "new" Friday freebie they've had for weeks which hadn't previously been available free.

The other is Kerrelyn Sparks' How to Marry a Millionaire Vampire Free with Bonus Material, in case anyone was wondering.

Synopsis
Far too many Americans, of all races, are unaware of the pivotal role that people of African descent have played in shaping the US and the world. Even less is known about the role of African peoples in the history of all humankind.

Becoming American: The African-American Journey will open their eyes—and enlighten even the already knowledgeable. It features two side-by-side chronological timelines that uniquely contrast the major events and personalities in both African-American and Global/African Diasporan history—spanning from 4 million BCE to Barack Obama’s momentous presidential campaign.

In addition, a carefully-chosen collection of key political, historical, cultural and literary texts, quotes, speeches, and songs document the impact of the black presence in American and world history.
