Home Features New to This Edition
Freedom on My Mind, Volume 1 by Deborah Gray White; Mia Bay; Waldo E. Martin Jr. - Second Edition, 2017 from Macmillan Student Store

Freedom on My Mind is Bedford/St. Martin's African American history survey textbook that follows the tradition of Calloway's First Peoples and DuBois and Dumenil's Through Women's Eyes in combining historical narrative and primary sources in one book. Each chapter includes a document project based on a theme or event that challenges students to analyze the sources and consider them within the context of the history they just read. Authored by a team of respected historians and teachers, Freedom on My Mind presents African American history from the early slave trade in Africa through the present day and tells the African American story within the larger context of United States history.

Features

  • In one book, students get all they need for class. Freedom on My Mind is the perfect marriage of narrative history and primary sources that saves students from having to buy an additional reader and saves instructors time finding classroom ready sources. Each chapter ends with a document project based around a theme or event from the time period covered. Document Projects include "Black Freedom Fighters," "Wartime and Emancipation," "Black Power: Expression and Repression," and "Redefining Community."
  • A broad perspective demonstrates the inextricable link between African American history and the history of the nation. Freedom on My Mind underscores the central role of the African American freedom struggle in the development of American democracy, demonstrating for students how the African American experience illuminates both the complexities of American citizenship and the power that the federal government wields over the lives of ordinary Americans.
  • Digital resources save instructors time and help students learn. Whether you’re interested in presentation materials, an array of test questions, more free primary sources — or all of the above — we have a wide variety of resources available in several formats and for downloading into your course management system.

New to This Edition

New document projects bring together written and visual sources for analysis. For the second edition, the authors integrated written and visual primary sources into single document projects, bringing into the conversation different types of sources on the same topic. This edition features new slave narratives, new documents from free blacks in the early nineteenth century, images of black life during the Depression, images of Tuskegee Study participants, and new images and documents from the Black Lives Matter movement.

Titled chapter-opening vignettes highlight the lives and experiences of both famous and not-so-famous African Americans. Building on the chapter introductions in the first edition, re-framed vignettes now focus on
the individual or group featured in the introduction.

Increased coverage of key topics within African American history and the addition of recent historic events will bring your students up-to-date on African American history and African American life today. Updates to this edition include added coverage of early colonial antislavery activity, the inclusion of additional slave narratives, increased coverage of the debate over affirmative action, increased coverage of urban ethnic conflict in the latter half of the twentieth century, and new coverage of President Obama's second term and the Black Lives Matter movement.

A comprehensive list of Historically Black Colleges and Universities provides students with a catalog of black higher education institutions founded from 1865 through the end of the twentieth century.
