Editorial Reviews

Midwest Book Review
This folk history of a Florida beach which welcomed generations of vacation blacks from Jim Crow to modern times provides a lively social coverage which includes local character and customs as well as a reflection on the 1930s black businessman who developed the beach which began as a 200-acre black community in the 1700s. A powerful regional and social history evolves.
