In this comprehensive non-fiction work for adolescent readers that has the heft of a text book, author Magoon takes a comprehensive look at The Black Panther party. While it will intimidate most student readers at Passages, the graphic design, writing, and back matter are top notch; this volume is a good choice for instructional use in the classroom.
Back matter includes information on key people, a timeline, a glossary, recommendations for further reading, source notes, a bibliography, image credits and an index. Included is a comprehensive teaching guide by Dr. Sonja Cherry-Paul available here. --Jessica Fenster-Sparber
Special thanks to everyone at the National Book Foundation and especially Andy Donnelly for gifting us with a boxful of copies of this informative book.
