Recenzje

This engaging book will be of particular interest to scholars of African American history, memory, and popular culture; indeed, anyone who discusses Attucks in their scholarship or teaching will want to consult this book, to make sure that they are not recycling hoary errors, which continue to be propagated over the Internet as never before.
