A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

This revised edition provides a detailed account of the history of Black, Hispanic, Native and Asian Americans since 1900. The author uses biographical accounts of prominent figures to illustrate the changing nature of the political and social struggles of the era, and the roles of Booker T Washington, Harry Truman, Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, Lyndon Johnson and Jesse Jackson are given particular emphasis. The text now also features an expanded chapter on radicals in the 1960s, analysing their aims, methods and achievements. In addition, the relative importance of prominent individuals, grass-roots activists, private and public organisations, and external pressures are weighed up throughout this history of change, progress and regression. Revised study guides are included and provide students with a firm basis for answering structured, essay and source-based questions.

Revue de presse :

Clearly and concisely written, 'Race Relations in the USA since 1900', will ably serve its target audience of AS, A level and Higher students, and general readers. (The Lecturer 2004-02-24)
