Anotace:	Focusing on the making of African American society from the 1896 "separate but equal" ruling of <em>Plessy v. Ferguson</em> up to the contemporary period, this encyclopedia traces the transition from the Reconstruction Era to the age of Jim Crow, the Harlem Renaissance, the Great Migration, the <em>Brown</em> ruling that overturned <em>Plessy,</em> the Civil Rights Movement, and the ascendant influence of African American culture on the American cultural landscape.<br> <br> Covering African American history in all areas of U.S. history and culture from 1896 to the present, the <em>Encyclopedia</em> contains approximately 1,200 fully cross-referenced entries that are all signed by leading scholars and experts, making this five-volume set the most reliable and extensive treatment to be found on African American history in the twentieth century. The set also contains 500 images and roughly 640 biographies, as well as an entry on each of the fifty states. In addition to its comprehensive coverage of African Americans, the <em>Encyclopedia</em> also contains entries about key figures who affected the lives of African Americans in particular and Americans in general. Unrivalled in breadth and scope, this is the preeminent source of information on this topic and is destined to become a trusted reference source for years to come.
