520 _a"This Pulitzer Prize-winning book is the epic story of how African Americans, in the six decades following slavery, transformed themselves into a political people -- an embryonic black nation." -- from the back cover.
520 _a"Steven Hahn’s A Nation Under Our Feet is the most comprehensive account yet of black politics in the rural South before, during and after the Civil War. Whereas most previous work has focused either on the slave experience or on post-Emancipation struggles, Hahn’s book encompasses both and shows the continuities between how blacks fought for self-determination in the two periods.... Based on prodigious research in primary sources, A Nation Under Our Feet is one of the most important works in American social history to appear in recent years.... This book [is] a major achievement and a landmark in African-American history. " -- George M. Frederickson in The Nation, from the back cover.
520 _a"Hahn argues, in this ambitious and fascinating book, that the associations of slaves -- centered on kinship, work, and religion -- were far more intricate, enduring and politicized than has been realized ... One of the most striking theses here is that black rural laborers, rather than urban, educated freedom leaders, radicalized Reconstruction." -- The New Yorker, from the back cover.
