Long Memory The Black Experience in America [Paperback]

Concise enough to be grasped by students on all levels of academia....Shows profound scholarship and its facility of style renders it a tour de force. --Ralph J. Lowry,Lincoln University

An excellent book. A modern classic. It is both comprehensive and concise; and therefore very good for undergraduate students with little historical background in African-American studies. The best thing is the approach, which utilizes non-traditional materials to bring a necessary corrective to the distortions and limitations of most texts. --E. Yvonne Moss,University of San Francisco

Excellent text. Particularly useful for classes in African American culture which may attract a wide range of students. --Willi Coleman,Cal Poly State Uni San Luis?

The quality of the writing and the concepts is exceptional. --John R. M. Wilson,Southern California College

An invaluable resource for students of the Afro-American past. --The New Republic

Excellent interpretative history, ideal for Honors courses and senior classes. Should be in every black scholar's library. --Arthur A. Drayton,University of Kansas

Few have written more creative history. A brilliantly written and illustrated work. --Leroy T. Williams,University of Arkansas
