Description

Krauthamer and Williams' text introduces students to both primary sources and analytical essays and is designed to encourage critical thinking about the history and culture of African Americans. Updated to cover a wider geographic scope that includes the western United States and other parts of the Diaspora, the product presents a carefully selected group of readings organized to allow students to evaluate primary sources, test the interpretations of distinguished historians, and draw their own conclusions. The second edition is also available with MindTap, an online teaching and learning platform that includes the complete text in digital format along with chapter- and unit-level assessments such as map activities; multiple-choice, auto-graded questions to assess students' understanding of historical argumentation; brief reflection-style essay responses; and unit-level essays. Each chapter of the MindTap also includes an additional digital-only essay not found in print.
