Book: Lloyd, Craig. Eugene Bullard, Black Expatriate in Jazz-Age Paris. Athens, Georgia: University of Georgia Press, 2000
MISSION STATEMENT: What contribution the book made to the historical debate [or understanding the actions of a person, group, movement in a historical episode]
CONTENT: 1. Identify the author, his/her specialty and what he/she has written previously. What is the author attempting to accomplish?
2. The narrative portion discusses the book’s argument. Basically, a summary of the book’s contents.
CONTEXT: 1. What are the contributions made by the book to the historiographical debate?***
2. What did the author get right?***
3. Weaknesses of the book.***
CONCLUSION: A paragraph that pulls the content and context threads together. Did the author succeed in accomplishing his/her objective?
INTRODUCTION: The last thing you write using elements [without repeating them] from the conclusion.*** Without reviews pulled from scholarly journals, you are going into battle armed with soup spoons. Without reviews you cannot write a review essay [determining the book’s merits/weaknesses and its contribution in the wider historical debate]; merely a “how I spent my summer vacation” book report.
