The American Experience

$45.00

Richard Rothstein’s The Color of Law lays bare government policies that built racial segregation into the nation’s housing landscape; James McBride’s The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store spins a warm, big-hearted tale of an unlikely community bound together by loyalty, music, and resistance; and Alice Randall’s My Black Country blends memoir, cultural criticism, and music history to reclaim the stories behind country music’s Black roots. Together, these books illuminate the forces—systemic, communal, and personal—that shape who we are.

We heard James McBride speak about this wonderful book. He is an incredible musician. He read passages of the book and his band played. You can hear the music in his writing. I highly recommend this book. And it this copy is signed. I also heard Alice Randall talk about “My Black Country”. She was warm and eloquent. And the book reflects not only her talent but her longevity in an arm of the music industry that has not embraced Black singers. CH
