The Political Worlds of Slavery and Freedom (Nathan I Huggins Lectures)Ebook Download | The Political Worlds of Slavery and Freedom (Nathan I Huggins Lectures) | Steven Hahn's new book, "The Political Worlds of Slavery and Freedom" (2009) is based upon the Nathan L. Huggins Lectures Hahn delivered at Harvard University. The Huggins lectures are designed to explore important themes in African American history. Hahn is Professor of American History at the University of Pennsylvania. His best-known work, "A Nation under our Feet" (2004) was awarded the Pulitzer Prize, the Bancroft Prize, and the Merle Curti Prize in Social History. The book tells how rural southern African Americans took steps towards their own political empowerment beginning with the period of slavery and continuing through the Great Migration northward beginning early in the Twentieth Century. Hahn has written a challenging book that will encourage its readers to examine their assumptions about both the African American experience and the American experience.
