This vital and thought-provoking book presents a bold and accessible overview of the history of the African continent and its peoples - from the earliest human migrations to modern Black communities and the African diaspora. Powerful images and innovative infographics bring to life the stories of the early kingdoms of Ancient Egypt, Nubia, and Carthage; the powerful empires of the Medieval and Early Modern eras; and the struggle against European colonizers. Black history and culture beyond the African continent is also explored in detail - including the Atlantic Slave Trade; the quilombos (slave resistance camps) of Brazil; the Harlem Renaissance and Jazz Age; the "Windrush" migration; Civil Rights and Black feminist movements; and Black Lives Matter. Using the "Big Ideas" series' trademark combination of authoritative, accessible text and bold graphics, The Black History Book examines the achievements and struggles of Black communities across the world up to the modern day, as well as the influence of Black cultures on art, literature, and music the world over. -- Publisher's description.]]></description><link>https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S125C699045</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S125C699045</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/699045125</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780744042146/MC.GIF&amp;client=hamip&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Indigo Dreaming]]></title><description><![CDATA["A young girl living on the coast of South Carolina dreams of her distant relatives on the shores of Africa and beyond.

From recent African immigrants to a woman who grew up in the mixed-race rainforest communities of South America to Celie's own granddaughter living in modern-day San Francisco, they must come to terms with the brutal stories of their ancestors in order to confront their own troubled lives.

African American Studies. In this collection, Kuwabong celebrates love--love for the people of the Caribbean and love between lovers. In the first part of the book, the love that is celebrated emerges from a deep sense of historical reconnection with the poet's African ancestors who were taken captive and sent to the Caribbean. The poems perform a retrospective search for the roots that his African ancestors planted in the new world without romanticizing their struggles, defeats, and victories. In the second part, Kuwabong takes the reader through a maze of relationships complicated by expectations and disappointments. The city of Hamilton, Ontario especially provides the social and physical landscapes that initiate the personae's responses to love made tricky by the extreme challenges of the mundane.]]></description><link>https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S125C856983</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S125C856983</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kuwabong, Dannabang]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/856983125</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Poems</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781894770507/MC.GIF&amp;client=hamip&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Becoming A Queen]]></title><description><![CDATA[An intimate portrait of one woman's quest to become Queen of Caribbean Carnival for an unprecedented tenth time in her final competition.

Determined to understand the colonial legacy from which he comes, Kassanda convinces his grandparents-Colette and Justin-to sit for a series of interviews. Together, they watch old news footage, remember a visit from the Belgian king, and recall what life was like as part of the nascent Black bourgeoisie who served the colonial administration. COLETTE AND JUSTIN begins with one man's search to understand himself and his roots. But ultimately it is an evocative, poetic and thoughtful meditation on the intersection of political and family history, and the multi-generational destructive reach of colonialism.]]></description><link>https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S125C973506</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S125C973506</guid><category><![CDATA[VIDEO_ONLINE]]></category><category><![CDATA[fre]]></category><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/973506125</comments><format>VIDEO_ONLINE</format><subtitle/><language>fre</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wade in the Water]]></title><description><![CDATA[Led by historical experts and community leaders in the BIPOC surfing movement, WADE IN THE WATER resurrects the thousand-year-old Black surfing tradition, stirring the next generation of Black surfers. The film explores the neglected history of Black surfing's heritage by charting the origins of African aquatic culture and examining the evolution of Black surfing through the modern day.The journey begins with the first written account of surfing in the 1640s, from Africa, 200 years before Europeans described surfing in Oceania and the Pacific Islands. Advancing into the 20th century, Nick Gabaldón is highlighted as a surfing figure who is as significant as he is overlooked. We then learn of the shameful histories of weaponizing eminent domain and acts of white supremacist terrorism that drove Black communities and businesses from America's shores in places such as Manhattan Beach and Santa Monica. And finally, we bear witness to the reclamation of aquatic culture with the contemporary wave of young Black surfers.]]></description><link>https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S125C856242</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S125C856242</guid><category><![CDATA[VIDEO_ONLINE]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/856242125</comments><format>VIDEO_ONLINE</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[They Dream in Gold]]></title><description><![CDATA["When Bonnie and Mansour meet in New York in 1968--his piercing gaze in a downtown jazz club threatening to carry her away--their connection is undeniable. ...

By hunting down wrecks and their backstories, Jacobovici and Kingsley's research puts the archaeology and history of sunken slave ships lost between 1670 and 1858 in vivid context. From the ports of Gold Coast Africa to the hubs of trading companies in England, Portugal, and the Netherlands, to the final destinations in the New World, Jacobovici and Kingsley show how the slave trade touched every nation and every society on Earth. Though global in scope, Enslaved makes the past personal through the divers' sadness, anger, reverence, and awe as they hold in their hands tangible pieces of their ancestors' world.]]></description><link>https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S125C750419</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S125C750419</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jacobovici, Simcha]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/750419125</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The Sunken History of the Transatlantic Slave Trade</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781639362387/MC.GIF&amp;client=hamip&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ghetto Gastro Black Power Kitchen]]></title><description><![CDATA[Ghetto Gastro, a Bronx-based creative and culinary collective, delivers a highly visual manifesto for living and eating to stimulate the mind, body, and heart, in a book that promotes Black excellence through recipes, art, and thought-provoking text.]]></description><link>https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S125C751147</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S125C751147</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Gray, Jon]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/751147125</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781648290169/MC.GIF&amp;client=hamip&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[My America]]></title><description><![CDATA["A cookbook celebrating the food of the African diaspora, from Nigeria and Ethiopia to the Bronx, the Caribbean, and the American South, from the James Beard Award-winning author of Notes from a Young Black Chef"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S125C737397</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S125C737397</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Onwuachi, Kwame]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/737397125</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Recipes From A Young Black Chef</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780525659600/MC.GIF&amp;client=hamip&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Is for Acholi]]></title><description><![CDATA["A Is for Acholi is a sweeping collection exploring diaspora, the marginalization of the Acholi people, the dusty streets of Nairobi and the cold grey of Vancouver.

Jackson, comes a rich and revealing narrative of the true global and human scope of the transatlantic slave trade. The trade existed for 400 years, during which twelve million people were trafficked and two million would die en route.  In these pages we meet the remarkable group Diving with a Purpose (DWP) as they dive for sunken slave ships all around the world. They search for remains and artifacts testifying to the millions of kidnapped Africans that were transported to Europe, the Americas, and the Caribbean. From manilla bracelets to shackles, cargo, and other possessions, the finds from these wrecks bring the stories of lost lives back to the surface.  As we follow the men and women of DWP across eleven countries, Jacobovici and Kingsley's rich research puts into vivid context the archaeology and history of these vessels that were lost between 1670 and 1858.  From the ports of Gold Coast Africa to the corporate hubs of trading companies of England, Portugal, and the Netherlands and the final destinations in the New World, Jacobovici and Kingsley show how the slave trade touched every nation and every society on earth.  Though global in scope, Enslaved makes history personal as we experience the divers' sadness, anger, reverence, and awe as they hold in their hands tangible pieces of their ancestors' world. What those people suffered on board those ships can never be forgiven. Enslaved works to ensure that it will always be remembered and understood and is the first book to tell the story of the transatlantic slave trade from the bottom of the sea.]]></description><link>https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S125C763699</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S125C763699</guid><category><![CDATA[AB]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jacobovici, Simcha]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Invalid Date</pubDate><comments>https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/763699125</comments><format>AB</format><subtitle>The Sunken History of the Transatlantic Slave Trade</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798212231466/MC.GIF&amp;client=hamip&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Black Panther]]></title><description><![CDATA[A ground-breaking anthology celebrating Marvel&rsquo;s beloved Black Panther and his home of Wakanda.   &nbsp;  Eighteen short stories penned by an all-star cast of authors such as Sheree Ren&eacute;e Thomas and Nikki Giovanni.

Some credit the fifteenth-century Age of Discovery and the maritime connection it established between West and East; others the accidental unearthing of the "New World." Still others point to the development of the scientific method, or the spread of Judeo-Christian beliefs; and so on, ad infinitum. The history of Africa, by contrast, has long been relegated to the remote outskirts of our global story. What if, instead, we put Africa and Africans at the very center of our thinking about the origins of modernity? In a sweeping narrative spanning more than six centuries, Howard W. French does just that, for Born in Blackness vitally reframes the story of medieval and emerging Africa, demonstrating how the economic ascendancy of Europe, the anchoring of democracy in the West, and the fulfillment of so-called Enlightenment ideals all grew out of Europe's dehumanizing engagement with the "dark" continent. In fact, French reveals, the first impetus for the Age of Discovery was not-as we are so often told, even today-Europe's yearning for ties with Asia, but rather its centuries-old desire to forge a trade in gold with legendarily rich Black societies sequestered away in the heart of West Africa.]]></description><link>https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S125C763715</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S125C763715</guid><category><![CDATA[AB]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[French, Howard W.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Invalid Date</pubDate><comments>https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/763715125</comments><format>AB</format><subtitle>Africa, Africans, and the Making of the Modern World, 1471 to the Second World War</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781696606943/MC.GIF&amp;client=hamip&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Afrikan Wisdom]]></title><description><![CDATA[A spiritual, political, and interdisciplinary anthology of wisdom stories from Black liberation leaders and teachers.
