About This Item
Ballantine Books, 1999. Soft cover. Very Good. Soft cover in very good condition with pictorial wraps with some shelf and edge wear; age toned; crease line on front. Interior text block clean & tight; no writing, no markings noted. Mellow age toning to the papers. Contains three sections of glossy black & whtie photographs. * From a review in 'The Village Voice,' ""An expose of the original black/white divide in this country, as embodied in one extended family and the people they owned. . . By daring to zero in on his own family's trade, Ball breaks hundreds of years of silence from white people - the only way to begin this dialog between black and white people."" From the San Francisco Chronicle, ""Everyone should read and learn from this luminous book. . . Like Alex Haley's 'Roots,' through which African American history came into national focus. . . [this book] has the potential for creating a perceptual shift in the American mind . . . The book is not only honest in its scrupulous reporting but also personal narrative at its finest.""
