City College of San Francisco AJA Review

Introduction

Pick one of the Academic Journal Articles below files

Historians love to review the works of other historians. Whenever a new history book is written, the historical profession selects experts in particular fields of studies to determine the value and contribution the new work will have on the academic discipline. Upon completion of the course’s reading, each student will be considered an expert and be required to read an academic article and submit a 3 pages review. Students are encouraged to celebrate the author’s accomplishments, but also challenge anything that seems substandard. Style and creativity play a crucial role in the success of your review.

A AJA review is a historian’s way of telling the audience about what useful information can be found inside of the AJA. You may include features of a summary and be a little reactionary, however, you specifically need to include the following elements.
