2. The African American Experience

A Greenwood American Mosaic Reference Database

The widest-ranging and easiest-to-use online collection on African American life from a leading publisher in the field.

Drawing on nearly 400 well-received titles, Greenwood's The African American Experience will be the first stop for researching black American history and culture. The two primary goals: to provide rock-solid information from authorities in the field, and to allow African Americans to speak for themselves, through a wealth of primary sources from their first arrival in the New World to the present day.

Topics include: History, Biography, Literature, The Arts, Music, Pop Culture, Folklore, Business, Slavery, Civil Rights, Politics, Religion, Sports, Education, Science & Technology, and more. This vast and accessible database--all thoroughly cross-searchable and indexed and tagged by a renowned team of librarians and editors—will include:

• Brand new material from major 2005 print reference sets, including Encyclopedia of African American Literature, Encyclopedia of African American Folklore, Encyclopedia of Racism in the United States, Encyclopedia of Multiethnic American Literature, African American Religious Experience in America, and Encyclopedia of Rap and Hip Hop Culture.
• A deep backlist of reference books and monographs, many now available in electronic format for the first time.
• A vast collection of primary documents: manuscripts, speeches, court cases, quotations, advertisements, statistics, and other papers. Of special note is the inclusion of over 4,000 interviews with former slaves—the WPA slave narratives—from the acclaimed The American Slave: A Composite Autobiography, which will be re-indexed and, for the first time, fully text searchable.
