This is the type of African-American history book I have been searching for! The Atlas of African-American History and Politics offers not only a detailed chronilogical narrative of the African-American's history from slavery to today, but also clean-crisp visuals to clarify. You will learn and see the actual routes that were taken during slave trades. Not only is this book great for African-American study courses, but every household in America should have a copy of this easy read, yet informative atlas.

Excellent, informative reference guide. Clear and concise information. A must for your library!

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.

I needed this book for my Black Studies class and my
finacial aid had run out. 3 'recommended' textbook
websites were out so I looked on Amazon.com,
found it and saved $50!!!!! Thanks.

The delivery came even before the due date and I think that was super-excellent. Keep it up.
