History of Black Americans

.,."the overall quality of the book is such that it is a major contribution not only to Black history but also to American history. In fact, Foner's greatest contribution is in his integrity and sensitivity concerning the subject. He has, in this volume, as he did in the previous two, made those who are willing to learn realize that Black history isn't some exotic subject but rather an integral thread in the tapestry of American history."-History: Review of New Books
