I loved the way the author explored the histories of African American communities in different parts of the U. S. through the lens of her family's history. As both a white immigrant and a historian, I took away los of new information from this book, including about the histories of Black communities in Places I have lived. The book is incredibly well researched. And because of the personal aspect of the book it has an aspect of self-reflection and depth many other history non-fiction books lack due to genre conventions.
