Struggle for Freedom: A History of African Americans, The, Penguin Academic Series, Concise Edition, Volume I
This textbook is well written, engaging, and provides excellent coverage. I believe it is the best African American history textbook on the market.Derrick E. White, Florida Atlantic University This text’s inclusive nature and abundance of useful information provide the student with a powerful introduction to African American issues.Julian C. Chambliss, Rollins College The inclusion of women in this history is by far the best I have seen. The biographical approach of this text is its strongest aspect, but the inclusion of women’s issues make the text even stronger.Yvonne Johnson, Central Missouri State University This is an excellent approach to teaching the ‘voices’ of African American history. I feel confident that my students would respond quite well overall because in general they feel much more passionate about history and its topics if it feels ‘real’ and personal to them. When they understand that history is about folks who lived, cried, struggled, and died just like them and their families, they get it."Diane L. Beers, Holyoke Community College
