Voices of Freedom: A Documentary Reader - Vol 1 (6th Edition) - REVIEW


by Eric Foner

Voices of Freedom is the only reader with a thematic focus on American freedom. The organization of this enormously popular, compact, and accessible primary source documents collection mirrors the best-selling Give Me Liberty! survey texts. The primary sources in this compact, accessible collection include presidential proclamations and letters by runaway slaves, famous court cases and obscure manifestos, prevailing ideas and dissenting ones. The voice range from Las Casas and Pontiac through Paine, Seabury, Jefferson, Thoreau, Douglass, and Lincoln. The Sixth Edition features new selections that focus on issues of inclusion and exclusion and the question, “Who is an American?”
