Amazing history
After taking an amazing class with Dr. Jordan, who is just as good of a teacher as he is a writer, I decided to take a look at his well-known book. It is truly one of the great pieces of historical writing I have read, as he is able to pull together a complete story based upon references from a single document. While he's talking about this single event, he gives great insight into the mind of ...

Creating America Review
Creating America is a great book. I have been using it for years now. It expalins everything very well. I have tried other social studies books before but none of them helped me understand everything like Creating America did. This book tells stories from thousands of years ago and stories form 4 years ago. If you find social studies hard to understand then get this book. Im sure it will help you ...

Extremely informative
I had my doubts about this book when I first saw it, but it has given me a much better underatanding of the history of racial tensions and prejudice in this country. Dr. Jordon's book is well researched and organized. It is extremely informative. I would suggest reading this book along with "Lies My Teacher Told Me" by James W. Loewen.

McDougal, Littell, 1985

Historical Fiction with NO NO BASIS IN RESEARCH
Of all the possible history books out there, this rates near the bottom. In a histroy book, you look for three things: 1. An array of scholarly views 2. Research backing, i.e., it doesn't contradict known facts, and it cites research, making it a credible report of history, and not some essay or historical narrative. 3. Lack of basic simplicity of persons and events. This book ...

White Over Black (A Pelican Book)

Winthrop D. Jordan

Penguin Books Ltd, 1971

the best book in the field
I write to refute the reviewer who gave Jordan's great book one star. White Over Black is probably the best single work of scholarship in any field on race in American history--still current and trenchant after more than thirty years. Jordan's Jefferson chapters remain definitive, his examination of Europeans' "first impressions" of Africans is classic, and his basic perspective--that one ...
