from Mariner Books
Price: $12.24

Customer Review:
James Agee's painstaking and honest masterpiece is an exercise in empathy. It is a beautiful, tortured writing that speaks to both the deplorable conditions of the Depression-era souther sharecropper and the humanity of trying to present them in a favorable light.
Agee's writing style is at... more info

Customer Review:
I am not even remotely a history buff, but I started trying to learn more about African American history after seeing it being ignored in high school and my first college.

Customer Review:
In July 2006, I saw the exhibit of the Quilts of Gees Bend at the DeYoung Museum in San Francisco I didn't fully realize the importance of the quilts, so I didn't buy the book and regretted it.

Customer Review:
This is a great first-hand account of the Montgomery Bus Boycott. It gives great insight on the emotions of the boycotters, and the determination that kept them going. The book is a little slow at times, but it's well worth it in the end. It really shows the intricate details that made the boycott... more info

from Fire Ant Books
Price: $23.66

Customer Review:
Black in Selma is an extraordinary book and gives the reader a superb mental depiction of Selma and times of the 1940s to present day. I read it from cover to cover in one day; I simply couldn't put it down. The racism that African-Americans endured is incredible!

9.If A Bus Could Talk: The Story of Rosa ParksIf A Bus Could Talk: The Story of Rosa Parks
from Aladdin
Price: $7.99

Customer Review:
The title is promising, but misleading. "If a Bus Could Talk" implies an entertaining story for the beginning reader; but, the concept is lost as the story drags from the first few sentences. The gimmick of the driverless bus is mishandled, and one soon wonders why the author thought it necessary... more info

CAPT McLaren's splendid account of USS QUEENFISH's historic under-ice survey is well-written and gripping.
