Trade Review

"Whether you realize it or not, your thinking has been significantly influenced by Herbert Aptheker. More than anyone, Aptheker smashed the early twentieth-century image of slaves as 'docile, passive, parasitic, imitative.'"--Black Issues Book Review


"Historian Herbert Aptheker helped define African American history and redefine American history during his sixty-year career. . . . He truly deserves the outstanding reader that Foner and Marable have put together."--North Carolina Historical Review


"This volume eloquently attests to Herbert Aptheker's pioneering role in African American history. For many years, McCarthyism deprived students of learning directly from this gifted professor, but his scholarship would later prove indispensable to early Black studies departments."--Martha Biondi, author of To Stand and Fight: the Struggle for Civil Rights in Postwar New York City
"These hard-to-find essays cohere well, capturing the realm in which a major and underappreciated U.S. historian made his most germinal contributions."--David R. Roediger, author of History Against Misery
