Dislike that I can't access any way to return or replace a book that didn't download properly. Went from location 7 to 27 with one page turn and couldn't find the missing pages. No way to contact Amazon for a replacement or return.

Lots of first-hand experiences

Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2021

This is a great book to learn about first-hand experiences during the Jim Crow era. This book has a few pages at the beginning of each chapter giving context to the short stories that will follow. The stories are detailed and I searched online if I could find more information on a person (Maggie Dublin) and sadly found her obituary but her photo was a lovely person who I would never have known experienced this struggle if I hadn't read this book.

Every American should read this book. It’s puzzling how a nation whose citizens believed that they are the freest people of the world could produce one of the most vicious societies the ever existed.

Have read the first several personal accounts. They were painful to read. The way we white people treated African Americans in the segregated South was just awful. I felt a knot of shame in my stomach and I had to put the book down. I have lent it to a friend and will get back to it when I can. Really impactful. Of course, we weren't so nice here in New England either. I remember living in West Haven, Connecticut in the early 70s when a cross was burned in front of the house of a black family that had moved to Malloy Road. I don't think we can really get beyond this until we acknowledge the truth of what really happened.

All Americans should read this

Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2012

Verified Purchase

I enjoyed this book tremendously. It helps me to understand better what my grandparents and other relatives had to endure living here in the South. I never knew Jim Crow - though I know about discrimination - and I realize that life was not at all easy for my people. It is pathetic that people were treated worse than animals. I make no apologies about my feelings, but I do not trust too many white Americans after reading books like this, watching movies like Mississippi Burning, and due to my own experiences. I was treated more courteously in Germany than I have in my own home state.

Born in Alabama and just didn’t hear this in school. Feel jipped on my fourth grade history class which was excessive. I wish I had been part of the solution and less of the problem growing up.

It is what it is: a compendium of stories ...

Reviewed in Canada on July 18, 2015

Verified Purchase

It is what it is: a compendium of stories from black people living during the era. I bought it for it's historical significance, and it accomplished exactly that, but many of the stories are so depressing that I find the work hard to stomach. Buy it if you're interested, but calling it an 'enjoyable' read would be difficult, 'elucidating' would be more accurate.
