This Is The Epic Story Of How Africanamericans, In The Six Decades Following Slavery, Transformed Themselves Into A Political Peoplean Embryonic Black Nation. As Steven Hahn Demonstrates, Rural Africanamericans Were Central Political Actors In The Great Events Of Disunion, Emancipation, And Nationbuilding. At The Same Time, Hahn Asks Us To Think In More Expansive Ways About The Nature And Boundaries Of Politics And Political Practice.Emphasizing The Importance Of Kinship, Labor, And Networks Of Communication, A Nation Under Our Feet Explores The Political Relations And Sensibilities That Developed Under Slavery And Shows How They Set The Stage For Grassroots Mobilization. Hahn Introduces Us To Local Leaders, And Shows How Political Communities Were Built, Defended, And Rebuilt. He Also Identifies The Quest For Selfgovernance As An Essential Goal Of Black Politics Across The Rural South, From Contests For Local Power During Reconstruction, To Emigrationism, Biracial Electoral Alliances, Social Separatism, And, Eventually, Migration.Hahn Suggests That Garveyism And Other Popular Forms Of Black Nationalism Absorbed And Elaborated These Earlier Struggles, Thus Linking The First Generation Of Migrants To The Urban North With Those Who Remained In The South. He Offers A New Frameworklooking Out From Slaveryto Understand Twentiethcentury Forms Of Black Political Consciousness As Well As Emerging Battles For Civil Rights. It Is A Powerful Story, Told Here For The First Time, And One That Presents Both An Inspiring And A Troubling Perspective On American Democracy.
