An Invaluable Item,
This review is from: America I AM Black Facts: The Timelines of African American History, 1601-2008 (Paperback)
I was initially impressed upon reading Taylor's intro which prompted me to further examine the book. I am not a big fan of chronologies/timelines, but reading his well-crafted work was an eye opener. What I liked most about the timelines was the manner in which he prefaces the sections to tie together the dates in an epoch and the way he inserts happenings in other parts of the world or outside the U.S that give perspective and a basis for comparison. This book deserves to be in every academic library reference collection and any reputable collection of Black Studies books. Terrific job!

This review is from: America I AM Black Facts: The Timelines of African American History, 1601-2008 (Paperback)
A dry, spartan collection of facts does not show evidence of scholarship. This book could easily be classified as a grade school project. The presentation is grossly lacking in interest and design. I have read encyclopedias with way more interest. Hopefully subsequent editions, if there are any, will illustrate that more time and interest were put into the project.

This review is from: America I AM Black Facts: The Timelines of African American History, 1601-2008 (Paperback)
The information Dr. Taylor has amassed in this slim but powerful book provides lovers of history with a compact guide through the ages of African-American life; and when synthesized, the book reveals the never-ending but often overlooked or left unseen contributions African-Americans have made at every level and stage of American life. Not to be missed.
