Long Memory: The Black Experience in America

5 reviews
Mary Frances Berry, John W. Blassingame

Oxford University Press, USA, 1982

An excellent survey
Contrary to the myopic review below, 'Long Memory' chronicles an extensive analysis of the African American experience in America. Apart from an illusory union of American peoples which exists only in flaming conservative imaginations, there is nothing in this particular piece of classic literature that could even be remotely viewed as divisive, unless of course ethnophobia prevents one from ...

Ripples of Hope: Great American Civil Rights Speeches

3 reviews
Bill Clinton, Mary Frances Berry

Basic Civitas Books, 2003

An invaluable collection
This book fills a stunning gap -- I've never seen another collection dedicated to the civil rights speeches that have played such a crucial role in American history. It includes all the famous speeches (I Have a Dream, etc.), but it also covers activists most of us haven't heard of, from movements most civil rights histories ignore. Each speech is accompanied by an introduction with just enough ...

Vintage, 2000

An eloquent exposition.
The "Pig Farmer's Daughter" is a stalwart exposition describing the fault line of bigotry, and bias that runs through the historical bedrock of the American judicial system. Berry offers a seamless narrative, written eloquently and without malice. Her book is an irrefutable unveiling of the ignorance that so often poses as the truth of popular culture. What is so ironic is that the players she ...

DK ADULT, 2003

A wonderful cookbook
This is a great cookbook with a lot of nice photos. I purchased this cookbook but had to return it due to the small font sizes used in the latest edition. I had difficulty reading the ingredients when standing and the book is placed on the kitchen table. I purchased the older edition instead. It has a larger font and the price was much cheaper. I compared 4 recipes from the 2 editions and ...

Unavailable for a decade and now completely updated for the 1990s, this landmark book shows how the American government has used the Constitution to maintain a racist status quo.
