Designed for high-school students, this set presents the Great Depression in terms of 45 key topics arranged alphabetically from "American Indians" to "Tennessee Valley Authority." Among other chapters are "Everyday Life," "Global Impact," "Labor and Industry," "Political Ideologies--Leaning Left," "Public Health," and "Radio."

Chapters are 20 pages or more in length and consist of a standard format. In "Literature," for example, a brief introduction is followed by a chronology of relevant events, from the Nobel Prize for Literature awarded to Sinclair Lewis in 1926 to the publication of James Agee's Let Us Now Praise Famous Men in 1941. "Issue Summary" provides an overview of literary trends, such as the proletarian fiction of John Dos Passos and John Steinbeck, and puts them into context. "Contributing Forces" lays out the conditions and events that helped create these trends. "Perspectives" reflects opinions and views of people both inside and outside the New York literary establishment, and "Impact" discusses later literary developments. "Notable People" presents brief profiles of five key writers, while "Primary Sources" provides excerpts from some key documents, including Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath and Richard Wright's Uncle Tom's Children. The chapter winds up with a list of suggested research topics (for example, "What were the benefits of government support for writers enrolled in the Federal Writers' Project?"), a bibliography, and cross-references to other chapters. The text is supported by maps, photographs, and sidebars

At the end of each volume, the student has access to a glossary of terms and phrases and a general bibliography that is subdivided into books, periodicals, novels, and Web sites. Also found in each volume is a detailed cumulative index.

This set examines in great detail an important period in U.S. history, offering social, cultural, and ideological as well as historical perspective. It is recommended for public and high-school libraries. RBBCopyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved
