The Black History Book (Big Ideas): Big Ideas Simply Explained Hardcover

Black history runs far wider than the few chapters most school syllabuses make room for. This 352-page volume covers that span, from early African civilisations and kingdoms through the transatlantic slave trade and the abolition campaigns, on to civil rights movements, decolonisation across Africa and the Caribbean, and present-day work for equality. Key events, figures, speeches and turning points each receive a clear entry supported by graphics and timelines. The treatment stays factual and sourced rather than rhetorical, which keeps it usable for study as much as for general reading. Chapters and coverage: • Early African civilisations through to contemporary movements • Entries on pivotal figures, speeches and turning points • Timelines connecting events across several continents • A factual, study-friendly treatment of a broad subject Suited to history students, teachers and general readers, published by DK and available at Boipoka.
