An Afrocentric examination of relations between African Americans and American Indians in Colonial Virginia, this book discusses issues of oppression, people as profit aswell as Epic Memory DuBois's famous "double consiousness".

This study examines the social relations between Africans and First Americans in colonial Virginia,l taking an Afrocentric approach. The contacts between the two oppressed groups include Southside's Surrey and Chesterfield counties, where the two groups made contact and subsequently plotted against their colonial oppressors. The book documents the blackness in Jamestown and Point Comfort, where the initial group of blacks first set foot on North American soil. It examines the emergence of the new black and blacks as profit. Additionally, Afrocentrists and African-centred scholars discuss the merits of 'Epic Memory' and its impact on African Americans today. DuBois's 'double consciousness' is revisited.
