This text-reader is an essential guide for those seeking to understand the dynamics of social change and the role of social actors in shaping the future.
 
Chapter One: Primitive Accumulation: Enclosures, Colonial Conquest, and Enslavement
 
Chapter Two: Indigenous resistance on Turtle Island: Histories of resilience and self-defense
 
Chapter Three: Slavery and Anti-Slavery
 
Chapter Four: Industrialization and the Rise of Unions
 
Chapter Five: Boom and Bust and the New Deal
 
Chapter Six: Imperialism, Cold War and National Liberation Struggles
 
Chapter Seven: Empire and Cold War
 
Chapter Eight: The Black-led freedom struggle
 
Chapter Nine: 'An old world is dying': Struggles of the Long 1960s
 
Chapter Ten: Global Production and Survival Struggles under Neoliberalism
 
Chapter Eleven: The digital revolution and emerging survival struggles

It is written in a clear, lucid style and grabs my attention immediately. Telling the truth about founding fathers and slavery from an Indigenous perspective, giving their rightful place to Black people as agents of history... well, it's about time!

This text goes more in depth about the struggles of black people and provides more examples of institutional racism. This text also covers topics like the second Digital revolution and red baiting which my current textbook does not cover.

I love how I don't need to situate a historical context for students when I read the text—it is very clear what was happening in the world at the time, so I can spend more time discussing the topics rather than setting the stage for my students.

Draft Chapter Review

The strong critique of Western Civilization as a measure for progress/social change make the text as having a critical approach and that makes it really different from most texts I have used.
