( ) I was a little disappointed with this Cartoon History because it seemed to one sided unlike his other Cartoon History books. It focused on race but seems to drift away from Native Americans issues as soon as the 1900's comes up (as if nothing has happened since). Only one sentience mentioning Asian-American racism (while championing FDR as a hero in the same chapter) and not one mention to Hispanic racism; yet pages and pages on African-American racism. What is good about this book was the humor and cartooning to very sensitive subjects. I don't recommend reading this though if you believe history should be taught with an unbiased opinion. The writer fails to hide that he favor liberal values over conservative ones; a good historian should not favor sides. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
