5.0 out of 5 stars
a great book about an unusual place,
By Steve Yarbrough (stevey@csufresno.edu) (Fresno, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Catfish and the Delta (Paperback)
I'm originally from Indianola, Mississippi, the town Schweid writes about in this book. It's an unusual place--the home of B. B. King and the Citizen's Council, a town that is sixty-five percent black but one in which almost everything is owned and run by whites. Schweid sees and records all that is troubling about the place--and there's plenty that is--but at the same time he finds himself inexorably drawn to it. The people of the Delta, both black and white, come alive here, and it's also worth noting that Schweid writes like an angel. Buy the book--it's a gem.
