Crossing the Danger Water: Three Hundred Years of African-American Writing Paperback - 1993
by Deirdre Mullane
Here is the most comprehensive collection of African-American writing to date and includes poetry, prose, speeches, songs, documents, and letters from the pre-Colonial era through today's best and most well-known writers. An anthology that anyone interested in the full scope of African-American history should not be without.
First line
THESE SPANISH SIGHTINGS OF AFRICANS IN THE NEW WORLD and the later discovery by anthropologists of distinctive black settlements along the American seaboard (outside the mainstream of the post-Columbian slave complex) constitute only one strand of the evidence of pre-Columbian contact between Africa and America.
From the jacket flap
The history of African-American life and thought presented in this anthology represents a far-reaching written and oral tradition, which is thought-provoking, inspiring, and impressive in its breadth. It includes poetry and prose by today's best and most well-known writers.
