Description

The brutal prerequisites and inhuman remedy of African-American citizens in Southern prisons has been immortalized in blues songs and in such films as Cool Hand Luke. Now, drawing on police and jail data and oral histories, David M. Oshinsky gifts an account of Mississippi’s notorious Parchman Farm; what it tells us about our past is easily price remembering in a nation deeply divided via race. Two 8-page photo inserts.
