The Struggle for Freedom: A History of African Americans offers a biographical approach to the African American experience. Authors Clayborne Carson, Emma Lapsansky-Werner and Gary Nash provide a compelling narrative of the black experience in America centered around individual African American lives. They weave African American history into a larger story of American economic and political history, emphasizing African Americans' insistent call to the nation to deliver on the constitutional promises made to all its citizens.

The 3rd Edition covers fresh topics including the legacy of Barack Obama's presidency, the state of the contemporary struggle for African American freedom and the meaning of the 2016 presidential election.
