Making of African America: The four great migrations

https://collections.lancasterhistory.org/en/permalink/lhdo21093

Author: Berlin, Ira,

Date of Publication: 2010.

Call Number: 326 B515

Alternate Title: The making of African America.

Responsibility: by Ira Berlin.

ISBN: 9780670021376; 0670021377

Author: Berlin, Ira,

Place of Publication: New York

Publisher: Viking,

Date of Publication: 2010.

Physical Description: 304 pages ; 24 cm

Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.

Contents: Movement and place in the African American past -- The transatlantic passage -- The passage to the interior -- The passage to the north -- Global passages.

Summary: Four great migrations defined the history of black people in America: the violent removal of Africans to the east coast of North America known as the Middle Passage; the relocation of one million slaves to the interior of the antebellum South; the movement of six million blacks to the industrial cities of the north and west a century later; and, since the late 1960s, the arrival of black immigrants from Africa, the Americas, and Europe. These epic migrations have made and remade African American life. This new account evokes both the terrible price and the moving triumphs of a people forcibly and then willingly migrating to America. Historian Ira Berlin finds a dynamic of change in which eras of deep rootedness alternate with eras of massive movement, tradition giving way to innovation. The culture of black America is constantly evolving, affected by (and affecting) places as far away from one another as Biloxi, Chicago, Kingston, and Lagos.--From publisher description.

Date of Publication: 2011.

Physical Description: pp. 102-113.

Summary: "By following the story of my great-grandmother Isabella Ford's life, and adding to it with information from available sources, I have been able to get a better understanding of the circumstances of Lancaster's free blacks. Her story provides a sense of life in mid-nineteenth century Lancaster County and shows how free black families held their own, despite an environment that was often unfriendly and that restricted their opportunities by both law and custom."

In search of Robert Boston : race and resistance in Antebellum Lancaster County

Physical Description: pp. 82-101 : illus, photo. ; 23 cm.

Summary: "A relationship between [Thaddeus] Stevens and...[Robert Boston] is an important counter narrative. Most traditional accounts of the local Underground Railroad activity emphasize the actions of white stationmasters such as William Wright in Columbia or Daniel Gibbons in Bird-in-Hand. African-American involvement while not ignored is generally presented as being of secondary importance. Each demonstrable piece of evidence of Black involvement in effort to combat slavery strengthens arguments for a tradition of Black agency and necessitates a reassessment of the lives and experiences of African Americans in the Antebellum Era."
