Rezensionen

'[The author] covers a remarkable amount of ground ... by avoiding detailed narrative and focussing on the historiographical issues which he summarises and synthesises clearly and concisely ... there is enough narrative and explanation to make each chapter accessible ... and the collection is given coherence and integrity by the linking themes of race, citizenship and American identity.' - SATH History Teaching Review
