re: #313 Snarknado!
If you want more (temporally, I mean, going back to emancipation and before), I recommend Been in the Storm So Long and Trouble in MInd, both by Leon Litwack.
Thanks. I’ll look in those too. I’m finally going to read Richard Wright’s Native Son and Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man too. I actually read Black Boy in high school and did a paper on Richard Wright in college. Always enjoyed Wright’s writing. It’s a shame he died fairly young because I would have loved to seen his observations about the 1960’s especially.
