How did the Atlantic slave trade operate to supply African labor to colonial America? How did African-American culture form and evolve? How did the American Revolution affect men and women of African descent?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePrevious editions of this work depicted African-Americans in the American mainland colonies as their contemporaries saw them: as persons from one of the four continents who interacted economically, socially, and politically in a vast, complex Atlantic world. It showed how the society that resulted in colonial America reflected the mix of Atlantic cultures and that a group of these people eventually used European ideas to support creation of a favorable situation for those largely of European descent, omitting Africans, who constituted their primary labor force.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this fourth edition of \u003ci\u003eAfrican Americans in the Colonial Era: From African Origins through the American Revolution, \u003c\/i\u003e acclaimed scholar Donald R. Wright offers new interpretations to provide a clear understanding of the Atlantic slave trade and the nature of the early African-American experience. This revised edition incorporates the latest data, a fresh Atlantic perspective, and an updated bibliographical essay to thoroughly explore African-Americans' African origins, their experience crossing the Atlantic, and their existence in colonial America in a broadened, more nuanced way.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45091007889559,"sku":"9781119133872","price":1918.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781119133872.webp?v=1769203475","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/african-americans-in-the-colonial-era-from-african-origins-through-the-american-revolution-9781119133872","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
