Reviews

This series is clear, concise and well-written. Each book contains 8-10 biographies with a timeline and chapter notes. Jazz Musicians also contains a discography. The captioned photographs are outstanding. Most books contain quotes with derogatory, but historically accurate, terms. The focus of this collection is rather narrow and the profiles will not suffice if a student is required to read a biography, but as a collection, this series will help students who are studying certain individuals or African-American history.
