vol 2- brief documents, heavy on African & European American historical documents
Published by NurturingMom167 , 3 years ago
It is a documentary history of reconstruction through contemporary times- 6th Edition, volume 2. It holds many African & European American historical documents that surround the forming of USA. The focus on African Americans was strong, and they have been able to rally a large voice. I only count 3 documents from the late 1880s, that talk of the decimation and suppression of American Indians: one is a chief Joseph, another is a woman Helen (Fiske) Hunt Jackson who advocated for their plight, and then The Dawes Act documented. There's no mention of the modern day American Indian Movement. This book does a good job of supplying the documents and then asking review questions.
