Our most recent publication was the Encyclopedia of African American History, a two-part series in 2006 and in 2009. These two titles were published in conjunction with Oxford University Press, and received praise from several review journals. You may find a couple of reviews below.
Encyclopedia of African American History, 1619-1895: From the Colonial Period to the Age of Frederick Douglass (Copyright 2006; ISBN: 978-0195167771)
“Highly recommended for all academic and large public libraries and any library specializing in African American studies.” – Booklist, June 1st, 2006
“A necessary reference for well rounded academic collections…A major contribution.” – Against the Grain
“The set offers depth, reaching most important persons, events, and developments through 1895 but is written for easy access with multiple cross references, chronologies, topical outlines, and a comprehensive index…Highly recommended.” – Library Journal
Encyclopedia of African American History, 1896 to the Present: From the Age of Segregation to the Twenty-first Century (Copyright 2009: ISBN: 978-0195167795)
“The combined eight volumes of the two parts of the Encyclopedia of African American History represent the most in-depth coverage of African American history from the arrival of the first slaves to the present day. This is a recommended purchase for libraries that can afford it.” – Booklist. June 1st, 2009
“No similar encyclopedia rivals the wealth and confirmation of African American history found here…it belongs in all large public libraries and all academic libraries.” – Library Journal (Starred Review)
“This set, with coverage starting in 1896, truly provides a comprehensive examination from the “Age of Segregation” through the 2008 presidential election . . . Highly recommended.” – CHOICE
