I am an Australian, who is in the USA for 3 years due to work committments. I wanted to know about the history of race relations in the USA. What I learnt fromt the book amazed me. A must read for all the countries which have racial problems. Sitkoff has presented a lot of hard data in an very readeable book, which is a great achievement.
Used in a history of the civil rights movement course, this book provides a solid introduction for students to the names, places and dates of many of the movements key moments. The book is easy to read organized into chapters chronologically surrounding key events including the bus boycott, student sit ins, and freedom riders.Sitkoff writing includes enough context to allow the reader understand the movement from it earliest beginnings.
The book shipped quickly and without damage. The text is well written and actually one of the more interesting non fiction books I have read
I really enjoyed this book. Well organized, very readable, and concise. Also available on Kindle, which is a big plus!
