doro_la_thea 's review for:
The story of the Hunton/Carter family is most interesting, with details of how the self-referred 'darker nation' took upon itself to create their own upwardly mobile and educated society. So many people in this book that should be better known by Americans in general. The focus on Eunice Hunton Carter's life and career brought in a vast spectrum of what was happening in New York City specifically and the world writ large. It would be good for classroom discussion, additional research. The writing is a bit dry, as one might expect with a grandson writing about a revered grandmother. While Mr. Carter didn't pull any punches when it comes to various relationships, neither is there a pointed exploration of other more personal relationships. It was an educational journey.
