A review by cdmcc
Negroland by Margo Jefferson

4.0

So, I'm not sure if it's because a title like Negroland scares the shit out of White America, but it's really annoying that this book didn't attract as much attention as Between the World and Me. Ta-Nehisi Coates deserves every drop of praise that came to him for his outstanding work, but this one exists too. Jefferson gives new meaning to the term 'memoir' here - it's not always clear if this is a book meant for public consumption, or if it's for her alone - and the writing is all the more exciting for it.
