Librarians and educators may have to do some prompting, but this collection deserves to be in the hands of teens everywhere.
Even with the captivating links provided by the author, the absence of source attribution and the uneven writing limit the book's appeal.
A comprehensive and visually appealing work that tackles subjects of importance. Ideal for browsing and as a jumping-off point for in-depth research.
An appealing narrative suited for students interested in history but not quite ready for heavy analysis.
Secondary students in social studies and multicultural courses will find these volumes a starting point, offering more scope and graphics than Xiaojian Zhao and Edward J.W. Park's Asian Americans: An Encyclopedia of Social, Cultural, Economic, and Political History. Although more recent, this set does not necessarily supersede Huping Ling and Allan Austin's Asian American History and Culture, which is superior in expression, depth, and organization.
While the text is accessible, the different exercises may be somewhat overwhelming to average teens on their own; better suited for group participation.
The subject is presented in such a way that readers will feel close to Seeger and be inspired to pursue more information on him and the causes he fought for.
An oversimplified middle grade view of a multifaceted individual. Consider for a lesson on viewpoint or where biographies are popular.
This selection holds a lot of appeal for young sports fans, and its accessible and straightforward storytelling will make it especially tempting to reluctant readers.
