Litwack relates how black schools and colleges struggled to fulfill the expectations placed on them in a climate that was separate but hardly equal how hardworking tenant farmers were cheated of their earnings, turned off their land, or refused acreage they could afford to purchase how successful and ambitious blacks often became targets of white violence and harassment. Drawing on an array of contemporary documents and first-person narratives from both blacks and whites, he examines how black men and women learned to live with the severe restrictions imposed on their lives during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Litwack constructs an account of life in the Jim Crow South.

This book is best read on a rainy day, preferably on your covered front porch or deck, with a nice hot cup of tea or coffee to keep you company. It establishes the author as an author in the literal sense, rather than a writer in a limited area. While it is not a part of what we have come to anticipate from the author, this book is not only an enjoyable tale in its own right, but the equal to and I honestly believe perhaps even better than what came before it. However I believe that it is fair to say that this book represents his break-out effort, as he has completely departed from the well-known and comfortable style of his other work and charted new territory here. This book caught me by surprise - I am I think like most people, in that I have a habit of classifying authors by the themes they write on, and of course this author made that very easy with his previous body of work, which as we all know is the result of his being a part of that profession.
