From Library Journal
In 1968 the author went to the Delta region of Mississippi, working on a report of regional social conditions, ultimately published as Our Land Too ( LJ 4/1/71). Twenty years later he came back to see if anything had changed, finding, unsurprisingly, that it had, but not for the better. Dunbar notes that there is greater black participation in Delta political and economic life, but the uniqueness of Delta life is being destroyed by modern civilization. Catfish farming has replaced cotton as the number one cash crop, and Wal-Marts are destroying the economics of the small towns. Delta Time is a disjointed, semi-travelog with a heavy dose of nostalgia for a way of life that is truly gone. Perhaps for libraries with a demand for reminiscences.
