In Volume II of Global Black Narratives for the Classroom, teachers are guided through the process of planning and delivering lessons focused on Africa. Pupils will gain a diverse and accurate understanding of the changing nature of Africa throughout history, linking its social history with its geographical features.

Building upon the lesson plans of Part 1, Part 2 delves into the interconnectedness of diaspora cultures in influencing the musical, visual, and religious practices of the Caribbean and Central America.

In Part 3, the book challenges the incorrect assumption that the history of Black people in the Americas begins and ends with plantation slavery. Instead, it presents a range of in-depth lesson plans that explore the diverse histories, cultures, and experiences of Black people within the United States.
