An exploration of eighteen themes throughout the book includes slavery, African American women, male-female relationships, politics, freedom/equality, arts and media, education, folklore, and interracial relationships among others.For anyone interested in writings by and about African Americans—and interested in writing their own interpretation of what they read.
