Avis sur le produitThe Bone and Sinew of the Land : America's Forgotten Black Pioneers and the Struggle for Equality by Anna-Lisa Cox (2018, Hardcover)

Must Read

Even if you don’t live in the Upper Midwest this book is the type that puts things like the Dred Scott decision and the Missouri Compromise into a more personal and impactful perspective. We read the dry and disjointed history in grade school with no impact any real context. Bone and Sinew bridges the gap between dates and court decisions and the real world effects that they had on Black Americans both free and enslaved. And it beautifully contextualizes what the Black pioneers of the early to mid 19th Century had to endure. A must read for anyone who wants to understand American history at a level even more intimate than a People’s History by ZinnLire l'avis complet...
