Reviews

Information in this source about Afro-Americans is provided in a question-and-answer format arranged under the broad topics of history, art and literature, sports, and entertainment. There are 1999 questions, e.g., "Who was the first black astronaut?" The facts, or short answers, are provided in another section. This is not a reference book in the strict sense as are the two standard sources, Encyclopedia of Black Americans and The Negro Almanac. Although indexed, the book's Q & A format and very abbreviated information will limit its usefulness in a reference collection. Recommended for school, public, and university general collections to support black history awareness and as a fascinating chronicle of Afro-American achievements. S.P. Hodge, Ball State Univ.
