Encyclopedia of the Great Depression

Edited by: Robert S. McElvaine
eBook version
Published by Macmillan Reference USA

This 2-vol. set encompasses nearly two decades of American history, beginning with the farm crisis of the mid-1920s, through the 1929 stock market crash, the gradual recovery during the 1930s with Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal and World War II. This wide-ranging, multidisciplinary encyclopedia features entries on depression-era politics, government, business, economics, literature, the arts, society and culture. While its main focus is on the Great Depression within the United States, the global impact of the economic slow-down is also examined through articles on Canada, Mexico, Australia, Europe, Africa and Asia.

Review:

"This work will make an ideal companion volume for libraries that already own James Climent's more thematic Encyclopedia of the Great Depression and the New Deal, and it will serve as a welcome addition to any undergraduate, high school, or public library collection."
--ARBA (2004)
