• The documentary section is an important resource in its own right. Unlike many of the other prose-filled works on the subject I have reviewed recently, this rates as one of the best, precisely because it is so fact-filled and documentary-based. Production and page layouts are excellent. I would recommend this book to any library with an interest in race relations and American society.
