Real History--More Exciting Than Fiction,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Black and White Manhattan: The History of Racial Formation in Colonial New York City (Kindle Edition)
Thelma Foote's painstaking research on this masterpiece is evident on every page of this definitive book on the history of slave trade in New York State. Foote's love of New York State is balanced by her ability to take an analytical, arms-length approach to two topics that engendered great passion for her: New York and the unique history of slavery in the US. Her mastery of the topic is evident in every chapter. My only hope is that one day; someone will build upon Foote's research and do a comparative history of the slave trade in Charleston, South Carolina, whose slave trade made it an economic powerhouse and the "capital of the Confederacy." Foote is brilliant. Her early death is truly untimely. She provided a contemporary voice to American history, keeping it both real and relevant. This is a history book that will interest, inspire, but never bore. If only we had the opportunity to hear more from this historian. She made history fresh.

ANOTHER OUTRAGE,
This review is from: Black and White Manhattan: The History of Racial Formation in Colonial New York City (Paperback)
ONCE AGAIN, READING ABOUT THE SO CALLED LIBERTY AND JUSTICE OF ALL, IS ANOTHER FARCE. PERHAPS, THIS SHOULD ALSO BE IN american STUDIES. THAT'S IF THE MYTHS AND LEGENDS CAN BE WADED THROUGH.
