Description
As the U.S. gained independence, a full fifth of the country's population was African American. In this compact volume, Nash reorients our understanding of early America, and reveals the perilous choices of the founding fathers that shaped the nation's future. Here is a powerful story of the nation's multiple, and painful, paths to freedom.
