Rating: 5
Summary: Wonderful
Comment: A very important book dealing with race and history. A must read for people interested in the subject.

Rating: 5
Summary: Simply Brilliant
Comment: It would be impossible to define this book: American history, personal history, travel log, memoir, but only through this eclectic storytelling does such a brilliant and complex vision of Mississippi, and its place in this country, emerge. Anthony Walton dazzles on every page with some of the sweetest prose I have ever read, and an intellect to match, that had me re-reading sentences, and then entire chapters, and sometimes just putting the book down for a moment to think.

Rating: 4
Summary: well worth reading
Comment: This is purer in its idea than in its executiion, but the story of an African-American man travelling back to Mississippi offers many interesting observations about race and history. I especially enjoyed all the quotes, excerpts he provided.
