Telling perhaps the most important forgotten story in American history, eminent historian Nell Irvin Painter guides us through more than two thousand years of Western civilization, illuminating not only the invention of race but also the frequent praise of whiteness for economic, scientific, and political ends. A story filled with towering historical figures, The History of White People closes a huge gap in literature that has long focused on the non-white and forcefully reminds us that the concept of race is an all-too-human invention whose meaning, importance, and reality have changed as it has been driven by a long and rich history of events."Binding Type: Paperback

Informational book
Format: Paperback
Received the book in a timely manner before my semester started. The nursing policy book is required in my master/ doctorate program. The book is thorough and sheds light on policy making in a nursing perspective. A good reference book to have after the semester when you start looking into policy making.

Book arrived on time but unfortunately it was damaged and ripped with a sticky residue in the back cover. Not worth buying new if the book comes in poor condition.
