incredibly well-researched, humorous but not blasé, rooted in memoir-like vignettes of Harriot’s family, and sprinkled with prose. The writing is high quality, varied, and engaging. I love the way Harriot sometimes waits to reveals the identity of the person whose story he is telling, almost like a mystery book. An excellent review of Black (American) history, and love the required and recommended reading lists at the end too.

Bitingly, bitterly funny history of the United States from well before its founding. It tells the stories of people who should never have been forgotten. Highly recommended.
