Ce que les critiques en disent
"While there has been much written about the Civil Rights era, Mapp writes through a highly personal lens. Many of the overarching lessons are similar to stories of people fighting against the grain, but readers will greatly appreciate the personal touch the author brings to the story. Besides being a great storyteller, Mapp has a gift for painting pictures with words. From the setting in which events unfold to the intertwining roles people played in his life, each person and place are written with great care and dimension." Critics Report: The Booklife Prize
