Riassunto

"Secondary school, public, and academic libraries will welcome this excellent one-volume encyclopedia. . . . Scholars seeking facts outside their specialty as well as generalists investigating aspects of American slavery can benefit from the Dictionary. A good subject index and cross-references facilitate access. Though some of the information can be found elsewhere, the focus here is unique, the articles combine substance with fluent style, and the whole is greater than the sum of its parts." Library Journal (starred review)
