#exodusters #nellirvinpainter #historian I keep seeing folks claiming that they're historians online 👀 🐃💩 This one tells about the experiences of former slaves in Mississippi, Louisiana, and Tennessee during the Reconstruction years. The name Exodusters came out of that tall tale from the Bible Exodus. https://www.instagram.com/p/CG7-BE3Hi8y/?igshid=z7vzw11m20cq

Reposted from @vcbcrochet Reposted from @mahoganybooks Telling perhaps the most important forgotten story in American history, eminent historian Nell Irvin Painter guides us through more than two thousand years of Western civilization, illuminating not only the invention of race but also the frequent praise of “whiteness” for economic, scientific, and political ends. A story filled with towering historical figures, The History of White People closes a huge gap in literature that has long focused on the non-white and forcefully reminds us that the concept of “race” is an all-too-human invention whose meaning, importance, and reality have changed as it has been driven by a long and rich history of events. 70 black-and-white illustrations. . . The author: Nell Irvin Painter is the award-winning author of many books, including Sojourner Truth, Southern History Across the Color Line, Creating Black Americans, The History of White People, and Standing at Armageddon. She is currently the Edwards Professor of American History, Emerita, at Princeton University and lives in Newark, New Jersey, and the Adirondacks. . . #mahoganybooks #blackbooksmatter #nellirvinpainter #blackbookstagram #bookstagram #indiebookstore #historyofwhitepeople - #regrann - #regrann https://www.instagram.com/p/CAO6STpplcx/?igshid=199960r10l9yz
