Contents "Slaves at large" : the emancipation process and the terrain of African American politics -- Did we miss the greatest slave rebellion in modern history? -- Marcus Garvey, the UNIA, and the hidden political history of African Americans.
Summary "Steven Hahn's provocative new book challenges deep-rooted views in the writing of American and African-American history. Moving from slave emancipations of the eighteenth century through slave activity during the Civil War and on to the black power movements of the twentieth century, he asks us to rethink African-American history and politics in bolder, more dynamic terms."--Book jacket.
