A Concise History of African America is a superbly written, insightful book that richly informs and intellectually stimulates the reader. It is a concise, fact-packed, engaging account of the history of the African American people; it is also a riveting thought piece that at several junctures challenges people to consider the idea that racist attitudes and institutions of the urban North in the 20th century have been more responsible for the current dilemmas of inner city African American life than has the legacy of slavery as such.
