Description
Book SynopsisAfro and Indigenous Intersectionality in America as Nomen broadens the historical narrative of Indigenous, Autochthonous, and First World people who have been classified historically as Negro, Black, Colored, Afro, and African American. By addressing the ways in which the singular narrative of "slavery" codifies identity, this work moves beyond binary racial classifications and proposes the possibility of utilizing holistic historical narratives to foster group and personal identity.
Trade ReviewWho are you and are you really who you think you are? Dr. Miles helps the reader to understand these questions for people of African descent. He provides thorough research on the true identity of the subjugated captives who were dispersed to foreign lands. In his groundbreaking analysis, he provides you with so much 'Moor' to the discourse on the topic of identity for those who were already here as well as the individuals who were forcibly brought to the Americas.
