Review:

* This reference source provides the historic context to understand present-day practices of this complex topic. The second volume includes primary documents complementing the set by including articles, speeches, and essays for additional backgroud information. The entries offer an objective insight for all audiences, from the general reader to the college student, and should be in all library reference collections throughout the United States.
