5.0 out of 5 stars Breakthrough text in African-American History, August 6, 1999

J. Reynolds (Far From Inner Asia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Passageways:: An Interpretive History of Black America, Volume I (Paperback)

Palmer's work is a refreshing new perspective on African-American History and a pleasant departure from the typical argument-free textbooks that pervade academia. He is consise, and writes with a clear historical perspective. Further he utilizes (and provides endnotes to) contemporary as well as classic scholarship in the field. I and my students found it a joy to use.
