Becoming African in America: Race and Nation in the Early Black Atlantic, 1760-1830
Sidbury, James (Professor of History, Professor of History, University of Texas at Austin)
Becoming African in America reveals how 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.
