from W. W. Norton
Price: $23.10

Customer Review:
After reading this book I have objections with the way
Gorden-Reed uses the foregone conclusion that Thomas Jefferson fathered the last 4 children of "Sally Heming".

from Doubleday
Price: $19.77

Customer Review:
I could not put this book down. After I finished I went on to read about white slavery just so that I had a well rounded idea of what was going on during this time. The only small complaint I have is that when authors talk about chattel slavery they all tend to group African Americans together as in... more info

Customer Review:
I had no idea that this book would be as compelling as it was. Really, it was a bit of a pleasant surprise. I bought it because it was required reading for a class, but ended up liking it... Who knew?

4.RootsRoots
from Doubleday

Customer Review:
It was a well written story. Unfortunately, there were a ridiculous number of grammar and spelling errors as well as a couple incorrect facts that really devalued the book for me. I couldn't read 10 pages without seeing a mistake like "the the". I was especially disappointed by these errors since it... more info

6.The Mis-Education of the NegroThe Mis-Education of the Negro
from Wilder Publications
Price: $14.99

Customer Review:
This is the first text to my knowledge that covers the process of curriculum development. It focuses on the student, which is crucial in any good curriculum. Of course, its focus is also on the neglect of the Afrikan student born in or studying in America, which is still generally overlooked. more info

9.[no image]In Search of Sisterhood: Delta Sigma Theta and the Challenge of the Black Sorority Movement
from William Morrow & Co

Customer Review:
Of course I enjoyed the book, but I will admit, it's a book "study" in a sense. It's not an easy read, and if you're looking for pure entertainment, you'll be sadly disappointed. If you're looking for a glimpse into history and an understanding of what the black woman had to endure in the early 20th... more info

This book is recommended to members and anyone who is interested in joining a African American Greek Letter Organization. It gives a good history on the fraternities and sororities.
