The writing is great. There's a lot of substance here, but, for me there's just too much content. This point has been made more clearly in other works. The waters here just get too muddied - there's just too many plots to effectively convey the thesis.
**Also, a lot of racism, indicative of the period and disavowed by the book, but unpleasant.
