ITEM OVERVIEW
From the founding legends of Abyssinia's royal house to the hidden "hush harbors" of black captives in the America's southland, Mumia Abu-Jamal presents moving portrayal of black faith over the span of 500 years. In this book, his first work of history, the acclaimed essayist pens a probing panorama of the spiritual life of African people, who, dispensed from their motherland, molded a love of freedom into religious practice and resistance to racist tyranny.
"Mumia Abu-Jamal has always embodied both political courage and moral commitment to his people and to all humanity...to produce such a work of stunning insight and thoughtful research, as Mumia has done, is truly inspiring." —Manning Marable
