520    The black experience in America-starting from its origins 
       in western Africa up to 1961-is examined in this seminal 
       study from a prominent African American figure. The entire
       historical timeline of African Americans is addressed, 
       from the Colonial period through the civil rights 
       upheavals of the late 1950s to 1961, the time of 
       publication. "Before the Mayflower" grew out of a series 
       of articles Bennett published in Ebony magazine regarding 
       "the trials and triumphs of a group of Americans whose 
       roots in the American soil are deeper than the roots of 
       the Puritans who arrived on the celebrated Mayflower a 
       year after a 'Dutch man of war' deposited twenty Negroes 
       at Jamestown." Bennett's history is infused with a desire 
       to set the record straight about black contributions to 
       the Americas and about the powerful Africans of antiquity.
       While not a fresh history, it provides a solid synthesis 
       of current historical research and a lively writing style 
       that makes it accessible and engaging reading. After 
       discussing the contributions of Africans to the ancient 
       world, "Before the Mayflower" tells the history of "the 
       other Americans," how they came to America, and what 
       happened to them when they got here. The book is 
       comprehensive and detailed, providing little-known and 
       often overlooked facts about the lives of black folks 
       through slavery, Reconstruction, America's wars, the Great
       Depression, and the civil rights movement. The book 
       includes a useful time line and some fascinating archival 
       images.
