Customer Reviews

Great!

I received the book as described, awesome condition and I am very pleased with the seller!!! 100 thumbs up!

Excellent summary

Top historians have written these five chapters thoughtfully, accessibly and well. Strongly recommended for personal reading (how many of us really know enough African American history?), historic sites and classroom use.

A True Classic

I feel this work significantly surpasses Franklin's "From Slavery to Freedom" in organization, scholarship and literary excellence. Immensely relevant, it is expressed with heartfelt vibrance. Certainly the "people-making process" captured here should be understood by all Americans in gaining a more realistic perspective of the dynamics that made this country. This work brings together eleven leading historians in a classic presentation seldom achieved for readability, cogency and effectiveness. It is a must in any African American library.
