Negative Positive
Title: Concise and thorough, though perhaps biased
Review: This is a great little volume! It covers just about all the topics covered in African-American history and although it lacks an compelling (interesting) narrative thread, the accompanying maps are great. The index helps find things quickly. My only concern is passages like this: "Two of the most famous and influential members of the Klan during this period [1920s] were the 29th President of the United States Warren G. Harding... and Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black." Harding's KKK membership is alleged and there's much evidence that he never joined and Black did admit to once joining (then resigning), he most certainly was never an influential member of the Klan.
Is the review positive or negative?
