Encyclopedia of African American History 1896-Present Vol 5 Open Box

Open box. This listing is for Volume 5 only of the five-volume Encyclopedia of African American History, 1896 to the Present: From the Age of Segregation to the Twenty-First Century, edited by Paul Finkelman. Please note that a major component is missing — specifically, the remaining volumes of the set are not included. The book itself is in like-new condition with original packaging and shows no meaningful signs of wear.

Overview

Published in 2009, this encyclopedic reference series is one of the most comprehensive scholarly works ever assembled on African American history from the post-Reconstruction era through the early twenty-first century. Edited in chief by Paul Finkelman, the set covers the full sweep of African American life — from the Jim Crow era and the Harlem Renaissance, through the Civil Rights Movement, and into the modern age. Volume 5 is a hardcover edition and features the same high-quality binding and editorial depth as the rest of the series. The cover imagery alone reflects the breadth of the work: civil rights marchers, jazz musicians, early 20th-century fashion, Barack Obama, and Colin Powell — a visual testament to the richness documented inside.

Why It Matters

This encyclopedia belongs in the library of any serious student, educator, researcher, or collector with an interest in African American studies, U.S. history, or civil rights. The entries are written by leading historians and cover politics, culture, religion, the arts, military service, science, and much more. As a standalone reference volume, Volume 5 remains deeply valuable for research and reading.
