To Make Our World Anew: A History of African Americans

Rating:
Summary: A True Classic
Review: 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.
