African American History Month

February is African American History Month! Throughout the month, we will be honoring African American History on the ABC-CLIO Blog.

African American History is an important topic to ABC-CLIO. We have hundreds of books on the topic, ranging from health to popular culture to politics and government titles, as well as an online database devoted to the African American Experience.

This year's theme is "African Americans and the Civil War".

Check back for weekly updates, excerpts, guest blogs, and more.

  1. Im very interested in history of Africa, especially the post-colonial era of 1945 to 1993. Thanks for sharing the links to encyclopedias. I found an interesting book on African history:
    The Yellow God An Idol of Africa by H. Rider Haggard :
