Reviews:
-"Intended to be accessible to high school and general audiences, this two-volume encyclopedia documents depictions and contributions of black people in European history, literature, and popular culture." —Reference & Research Book News
-"The two volumes offer 360 entries that provide readers with a concise, clear account of topics and individuals. Some are accompanied by images and illustrations. 'Further reading' recommendations appear at the end of each entry. Both volumes have a chronology, along with alphabetical and topical lists of entries. Readers also will find a useful resource guide listing suggested readings, Web sites, and more. This set is an important reference resource for ethnic and multicultural studies. Summing Up: Highly recommended." —CHOICE
-"Although there are many reference resources focused on African American culture (for example, Macmillan's Encyclopedia of African-American Culture and History, 2006), this new encyclopedia provides a unique European perspective. Editor Martone (doctoral candidate, history, University of New York at Stony Brook) compiled 362 entries from 84 international, scholarly contributors. Along with an alphabetical list of entries, the 'Topical List of Entries' organizes information under 24 categories including 'Art,' 'Events,' 'Groups,' 'Religion,' and 'Women.' There are also categories for individual countries and regions. Common themes such as Abolition of slavery, British; Abolition of slavery, French; Germany, blacks in; and Scandinavia, blacks in contribute to ease of use. Martone devotes strong coverage to France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, and Spain, with additional coverage of Belgium, central and Eastern Europe, Ireland, Russia, and Scandinavia. ... Additional features include black-and-white illustrations, a chronology dating from 500 BCE to 2008, and a 'Resource Guide' that includes a list of suggested English-language books, articles, Web sites, and films. An index and list of contributors end the set. One of a kind, this resource is highly recommended for its unique subject coverage. Suitable for academic and public libraries." —Booklist
