Book Reviews of Blood Done Sign My Name: A True Story
Book Review: Readable Revisionism
Summary: 5 Stars
For those who supported the Civil Rights battles of the 1960s with great excitement and sympathy--but from far North of the Mason-Dixon line, this is a revisionist eye opener. We thought that "black and white together" could just hold hands and march down the street (or up to the Lincoln memorial) and all would be fine. Tyson disabuses us of our youthful idealism (I am now 65 so most of it is gone anyway) but does so in the most incredibly engaging way, by excellent memoir-writing interspersed with much compelling local history that itself has great explanatory power. Almost no Ph.D in History writes this well! I know because I am a retired professional historian who spent 40 years reading dull crap. This book should become a classic among the second (or is it now the third?) wave of writing that rethinks and clarifies the real power and pain of the Civil Rights struggle.
