Becoming African in America: Race and Nation in the Early Black Atlantic

Becoming African in America: Race and Nation in the Early Black Atlantic Becoming African in America reveals how an African identity emerged in the late eighteenth-century Atlantic world, tracing the development of African from a degrading term connoting savage people, to a word that was a source of pride and unity for the diverse victims of the Atlantic slave trade.
