Overview

Black business activity has been sustained in America for almost four centuries. From the marketing and trading activities of African slaves in Colonial America to the rise of 20th-century black corporate America, African American participation in self-employed economic activities has been a persistent theme in the black experience. Yet, unlike other topics in African American history, the study of black business has been limited. General reference sources on the black experience—with their emphasis on social, cultural, and political life—provide little information on topics related to the history of black business. This invaluable encyclopedia is the only reference source providing information on the broad range of topics that illuminate black business history.

Providing readily accessible information on the black business experience, the encyclopedia provides an overview of black business activities, and underscores the existence of a historic tradition of black American business participation. Entries range from biographies of black business people to overview surveys of business activities from the 1600s to the 1990s, including slave and free black business activities and the Black Wallstreet to coverage of black women's business activities, and discussions of such African American specific industries as catering, funeral enterprises, insurance, and hair care and cosmetic products. Also, there are entries on blacks in the automotive parts industry, black investment banks, black companies listed on the stock market, blacks and corporate America, civil rights and black business, and black athletes and business activities.

Editorial Reviews

Booknews
Illuminates the historic continuity of black business in America from the colonial era to the post-civil rights era in an effort to underscore the diversity of black business activities from slavery to freedom. Biographies of black business people overview the individual's business activities and discuss the successes and failures of their enterprises. Surveys of black participation in selected industries review areas such as transportation, bookstores, and radio. Entries on topics in black business history focus on activities distinctive to a specific historic period, such as slave business activities and black business during the Great Migration. Includes a 34-page chronology of black business history. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
