Description:
Avoiding The Easy Cliches of victimhood and oppression, Russ Rymer brings to life the stark conflict between whites and blacks in America today, presenting a vision of a nation where the futures of both races are as linked as their histories -- and where the black experience offers a key to the struggle of every modern American. Examining three connected lives from a small slice of northeastern Florida -- an unarmed black motorist killed by a white policeman, the granddaughter of Florida's first black millionaire, and one of America's most prominent black novelists, Zora Neale Hurston -- Rymer brilliantly shows how the experiences of these three refract and reflect the American experience itself, offering clues to help us understand our past and shape our future.
