Books of the Day: The African-American Experience
The recent historic victory of Barack Obama in the US presidential race has heightened interest in the African-American experience. At Bound Bookshop, we have several titles on black history, racism and related issues. Among these are Africana: Arts and Letters by Kwame Anthony Appiah and Henry Louis Gates, Jr., available for only Php560.00, and A Small Nation of People: W.E.B. Dubois and African American Portraits of Progress, available for only Php395.00.
“The original Africana was inspired by a dream of the late W.E.B. Du Bois and shaped by an eminent advisory board led by Nigerian Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka. It packed 3,500 entries into 2,000 pages and garnered great critical acclaim. Now, in Africana: Arts and Letters, series editors Kwame Anthony Appiah and Henry Louis Gates, Jr., present a selection of the most notable African-American events, writers, musicians and artists that helped to shape culture and history.”
“A Small Nation of People is a collection of 150 rare photographs of African-Americans since slavery and beyond, with essays by Pulitzer Prize-winner David Levering Lewis and African-American photo historian Deborah Willis, a MacArthur fellow.”
