Reader Reviews
This beautiful hard bound book with the picture of Thomas Jefferson on the cover is deceiving. It contains 18 essays on Thomas Jefferson and his views on citizenship, education, slavery,and religion. Of the 18 only about 4 essays are really fair and bereft of the political correctness that has infected the American history "profession". Douglas L. Wilson, on Jefferson's views on Literacy, David Mayers's of Jefferson's views on constitutional change ,Suzanne Morse on the "ward republics, and finally Liu Zuonchang's essay on the overall progrssivness of Jefferson are really the only good essays. The rest are libels on Jefferson using 20/21st century standards to judge an enlightened and progresive of the 18th/19th century. Overall, poor deconstruction scholarship.
