Forever Free by Eric Foner
From one of our most distinguished historians comes a groundbreaking new examination of the myths and realities of the period after the Civil War.Drawing on a wide range of long-neglected documents, Eric Foner places a new emphasis on black experiences and roles during the era. We see African Americans as active agents in overthrowing slavery, in shaping Reconstruction, and creating a legacy long obscured and misunderstood. He compellingly refutes long-standing misconceptions of Reconstruction, and shows how the failures of the time sowed the seeds of the Civil Rights struggles of the 1950s and 60s. Richly illustrated and movingly written, this is an illuminating and essential addition to our understanding of this momentous era.
Eric Foner is the author of several books and the DeWitt Clinton Professor of History at Columbia University. At Columbia University, he received the Presidential Award for Distinguished Teaching in 2006. He has led the Organization of American Historians, the American Historical Association, and the Society of American Historians. He currently resides in New York City.
