Been in the Storm So Long: The Aftermath of Slavery
"Litwack displays a keen sense of the revealing expression and incident; a controlled passion against injustice and cruelty; and a grasp--not always in evidence these days--of the elements of genuine tragedy in the black-white confrontation that has shaped southern history."--Eugene Genovese,The New York Times Book Review"As a comprehensive study of the coming of freedom, Litwack's book has no rival."--C. Vann Woodward,The New York Review of Books
