Breakthrough text in African-American HistoryBy Jonathan ReynoldsPalmer's work is a refreshing new perspective on African-American History and a pleasant departure from the typical argument-free textbooks that pervade academia. He is consise; and writes with a clear historical perspective. Further he utilizes (and provides endnotes to) contemporary as well as classic scholarship in the field. I and my students found it a joy to use.
