Reviews for Slavery in America: A Reader and Guide
The combination of secondary and primary extracts with substantial editorial pieces is particularly impressive. The overview, followed by essays for each section looks good. Often editorial pieces in other works are too brief. The coverage of the colonial period as well as later years is a significant strength, and the balance between thematic emphasis and chronological is good.
