For a student friendly reference on African American history and culture, refer to the new UXL family patterned after Gale's award-winning American Decades series. African American Eras sets are interdisciplinary sources for middle and high school students as well as teachers, librarians, and the general patron who want the single source convenience provided by the Decades-style subject chapters covering arts, medicine and health, education, religion, government and politics, law, trade and more. Each four-volume set covers a different era of importance to African American culture, and each chapter covers the events, lifestyles, social history, and key figures unique to that time. Included will be the eyewitness accounts and primary documents that make even long ago history so personal.
