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