incredibly well-researched, humorous but not blasé, rooted in memoir-like vignettes of Harriot’s family, and sprinkled with prose. The writing is high quality, varied, and engaging. I love the way Harriot sometimes waits to reveals the identity of the person whose story he is telling, almost like a mystery book. An excellent review of Black (American) history, and love the required and recommended reading lists at the end too.
