The Problem of Race in the Twenty-first Century (The… di Thomas C. Holt

A very readable essay from a historian's perspective on the importance of understanding the historicity of race and racism and therefore the need to develop new tools and vocabularies to understand contemporary society. Although crucial for understanding the past, concepts developed for understanding history are inadequate for comprehending the full scope of race and racism in the present. That is NOT to say that they are unimportant, but merely that there are "new anomalies, new ambiguities, and new ambivalence in contemporary life that our standard definitions of race and racism simply cannot account for, and which even render them somewhat anachronistic..."

Children of Fire: A History of African Americans di Thomas C. Holt

The focus of Professor Holt's book is on individual lives, teased out of archives and public records. The result is a subtly reasoned, very readable book covering the scope of African American history. He reveals the nuances and complexities of the lives of both well known and private individuals. The scope is amazing, each stage is meticulously covered. The index covers both topics and individuals, making this a valuable source for students covering any time period.
