Reviews for African Americans in the Colonial Era
Praise for the first edition: "This fine, brief survey...ought to be widely used. It offeres a balanced, up-to-date treatement of West African cultures, the Atlantic slave trade, the slow development of slavery in the English colonies, the rise of racism, and the changing cultures of Americans in African ancestry. ... Wright has performed a real service. ...this book is far and away the best short survey of early African-American history." ( EthnoHistory, 1992) "Wright provides the reader with a better understanding and considerable insight into the causes, consequences and conditions of African Americans in colonial North America." ( International Migration Review, 1992)
