Achieve Read & Practice. Pairing an interactive e-book with LearningCurve adaptive quizzing, Achieve Read & Practice ensures that students come to class confident in their understanding of each chapter in Freedom on My Mind. LearningCurve helps students rehearse content at their own pace in a nonthreatening, game-like environment. The feedback for wrong answers provides instructional coaching and sends students back to the book for review. Students answer as many questions as necessary to reach a target score, with repeated chances to revisit material they haven’t mastered. Students can also use LearningCurve as a study tool to prepare for exams.
IN THE TEXTBOOK
Document Projects, one per chapter, bring together 6-8 textual and visual primary sources around a chapter topic. From first-hand accounts of the slave trade to perspectives on the Black Lives Matter movement, these Document Projects illuminate the primary evidence that underpins African American history. The pedagogical support—thematic introductions, source headnotes, and questions for analysis—help students learn to think like historians.
New to This Edition
New and extensively revised chapters. A new chapter 1 is dedicated to "African Origins: Beginnings to ca. 1600 CE," while chapter 2 is now entirely focused on the transatlantic slave trade. The 1915-1940 period is now covered in two chapters, allowing for expanded coverage of cultural, social, and political developments during this period. Chapter 17 on the contemporary period has been extensively revised to reflect the many significant trends and events of the past two decades, including the Trump presidency.
New scholarship throughout. Every chapter has been updated to reflect the latest scholarship, from details on slavery in colonial New England, to updated statistics on the magnitude of racial terror lynching, to new insights into mass incarceration in the contemporary period.
Three new Document Projects—"Imagining Africa" in chapter 1, "The Harlem/New Negro Renaissance" in chapter 12, and "All Africa’s Children" on contemporary black immigrants in chapter 16—allow students to practice "doing" history with fresh and engaging themes. In addition to these entirely new Document Projects, there are new textual and visual sources within existing Document Projects, such as an interview with Ona Judge, addresses from Reconstruction-era political conventions, and the lyrics from Nina Simone’s "Mississippi Goddam."
"I love everything about this book. It offers a comprehensive history of African Americans that is student-friendly: well-organized, excellent coverage, in a thematic, highly readable format, supported by a robust selection of excellent primary sources. Through these primary source readings, students are better able to develop a connection with the material and form a deeper understanding, rather than just know or memorize that something happened."
— Richard A. Buckelew, Bethune-Cookman University.Freedom on My Mind shines a much needed light on the centuries-long efforts of black people to define themselves, record their triumphs and tragedies, and celebrate their heritage…What I like most about this book is how the authors have gone out of their way to find images, documents, maps, graphs, etc., that are unusual or seldom seen.
— Marilyn Howard, Columbus State Community College
