Great Textbook.

I love this textbook. Though much of my learning comes from taking the class, I have learned so much about African American history simply by reading this text. It's great!

Fantastic!

The book came very quickly and was described well in the ad. I was very pleased with the timeliness of the delivery

A Comprehensive Primer

"The African American Odyssey" just got better with the release of the 3rd edition. Updated accounts, in-depth coverage, a broadened focus (the American West, and beyond America), and the wonderfully helpful enclosed CD which allows for additional research, all make this a comprehensive volume for any and all students of African American history. The blending of the famous and the unknown, men and women, North and South, slave and free, provides for a tapestry that weaves together both the terror and the triumph of the African American experience which enabled them to move beyond the suffering to a place of healing hope. The faith-basis for so much of the African American triumph could have been covered more comprehensively, though it is more than hinted at in the original sources covered.
