Product Description

Product Description

A study of civil rights in the USA. It is designed to fulfil the AS and A Level specifications in place from September 2000. The AS section deals with narrative and explanation of the topic. There are extra notes, biography boxes and definitions in the margin, and summary boxes to help students assimilate the information. The A2 section reflects the different demands of the higher level examination by concentrating on analysis and historians' interpretations of the material covered in the AS section. There are practice questions and hints and tips on what makes a good answer.

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST have book for any A'Level student studying this topic, 31 Jan 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Heinemann Advanced History: Civil Rights in the USA 1863-1980 (Paperback)
This is one of the few books which I have found which gives you not only excellent information and varied views on the struggle African Americans faced in gaining their Civil Rights, but also contains various sections on the other minority groups such as Native Americans, Asians, and Hispanics with a view on how they fought for equality. Not only does the book give you all you need to know when it comes to studying American Civil Rights, but it also has very handy exam style questions with model answers to see if you're on the right track! A MUST if you're studying the subject for A'Level - it'll ease the stress at exam time for sure!

This review is from: Heinemann Advanced History: Civil Rights in the USA 1863-1980 (Paperback)
Simply put; if you're doing the AS level History course buy this book as it covers a wide, relevant range of topics in sufficient depth.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very useful, 3 Sep 2009
This review is from: Heinemann Advanced History: Civil Rights in the USA 1863-1980 (Paperback)
I recently wrote a 3500 word course essay on the Civil Rights Movement, and this was by far and away my most useful resource, and a very good go-to book for facts.

A little thin on details sometimes, so if you're using it for more serious writings supplement it with books like Taylor Branch's mammoth Parting The Waters. Still, there is a really great, concise narrative here.
