Reviews

As the set is designed for high school students, undergraduates, and general readers, most academic and public libraries will find the set a useful addition in developing more comprehensive collections on race and racism.
*ARBA*

The writers of each section approach heavy topics with the implications for 21st-century America in mind, and with honest language that undergraduates will easily understand. While readers will have to piece together the larger story of racism in the U.S. from each state's individual history, the unique organization of this work makes it a valuable and timely contribution to this field.
