Acerca de esta escucha

The black experience in America - starting from its origins in western Africa up to 1961 - is examined in this seminal study from a prominent African American figure. The entire historical timeline of African Americans is addressed, from the Colonial period through the civil rights upheavals of the late 1950s to 1961, the time of publication.

Before the Mayflower grew out of a series of articles Bennett published in Ebony magazine, regarding "the trials and triumphs of a group of Americans whose roots in the American soil are deeper than the roots of the Puritans who arrived on the celebrated Mayflower a year after a Dutch man of war deposited twenty Negroes at Jamestown."

Bennett's history is infused with a desire to set the record straight about black contributions to the Americas and about the powerful Africans of antiquity. While not a fresh history, it provides a solid synthesis of current historical research and a lively writing style that makes it accessible and engaging listening.

After discussing the contributions of Africans to the ancient world, Before the Mayflower tells the history of "the other Americans", how they came to America, and what happened to them when they got here.

The book is comprehensive and detailed, providing little-known and often overlooked facts about the lives of black folks through slavery, Reconstruction, America's wars, the Great Depression, and the civil rights movement. The book includes a useful time line and some fascinating archival images.

This is a must read

This book provides relevant information about the position of African Americans in the United States and the world. Thank you for shining a light on the gains made and those yet to manifest into reality.

Enjoyed the history of the black population, a little dated but the comparison is there.

Excellent history lesson

I have heard glowing reviews about Mt Bennett's Before The Mayflower for decades and I have FINALLY listened to it.

The narration could have been better.

Demythologize the American Curriculum

The taught narrative of American history has done an egregious injury to not just that history but to our very humanity. This treatise opens up so many additional narratives and could completely change the game.

The People Called To Be Negro In Life

Outstanding course on the begining of the negro in his living and the record accounts of the black experience. All people should read this book especially if you live blak skin. The book includes the human race and sheds light on the evil designs created to slave and destroy the power of a still upcoming group of human beings. The is a awesome snap shot for black people to reference and pass on to future black generations.

Great book, poor reading

The only negative I can find in this audio book is the distracting performance of the narrator. There are so many mispronunciations of simple everyday words, I can only wonder if English is his second language.
