Trade Review
what makes In Hope of Liberty so stimulating is the juxtaposition of the broad historical sweep with individual experience. * S-M Grant, American Studies, 33:2, 1999. *
it is the Horton's ability to pull together such a wide and varied range of individual voices that makes this work so approachable. * S-M Grant, American Studies, 33:2, 1999. *
Given the amount of scholarship to-date on the themes of black culture, community and protest, the Hortons have set their sights high in attempting a single-volume study covering all three topics. They have nevertheless succeeded in producing a work of synthesis which is both broad in scope and, most importantly, accessible to a wide readership. * S-M Grant, American Studies, 33:2, 1999. *
