Summary:

"The Schlager Anthology of Black America offers an accessible, inclusive sourcebook covering Black history. The set features carefully curated primary sources along with highly targeted activities to help students engage with and analyze primary documents from all periods of African American history, from the 1500s to the present. Presenting marginalized voices, from women to those in the LGBTQ community, this anthology represents a modern approach to historical reference. Document texts are abridged to remain brief and accessible, even to struggling readers (including ESL students), while activity questions range in difficulty from basic to more advanced. Edited by Dan Royles ( To Make the Wounded Whole ) and featuring the contributions of dozens of scholars, The Schlager Anthology of Black America is an essential reference for students, researchers, and teachers of Black history"-- Provided by publisher.
