crybabybea's review against another edition

challenging hopeful informative medium-paced

3.75

Extremely informative, each of the writers chose a lesser-known topic to write about which was refreshing. Having 90+ writers made each chapter feel fresh, which really helped the pacing issues that history books seem to struggle with. Despite having so many writers and covering such a wide timeline, each chapter connected surprisingly well. Just in awe of the scope of this project and how well it came together.

This is an excellent overview of African American history. The variety helps break up challenging content and allows for better reflection. The audiobook is also fantastic.
