A review by jgtruesdell
My Song: A Memoir by Harry Belafonte, Michael Shnayerson

4.0

Very engagingly written, I found the book entertaining and easy to read. I had no idea that he was so intimately involved in the Civil Rights movement and the detail he gave about the movement I think is very important from a historical standpoint. I did find him pretty wrapped up in himself and all that he had done, like he was the movement and everyone else including Dr. King were just bit players. I also didn't realize how extremely left wing his politics are, to the point where I don't think he is seeing the big picture anymore. All that aside it was a good book and for the information on the Civil Rights movement alone, it is definitely worth reading.
