African American History & Literature

This phenomenal New York Times bestseller tells a riveting story of the collision between ethics, race, and medicine; of scientific discovery and faith healing; and of a daughter consumed with questions about the mother she never knew.

Part memoir, part historical and cultural analysis, Bakari Sellers presents an eye-opening journey through the South's past, present, and future. In his personal history, we are awakened to the crisis affecting the other "Forgotten Men & Women," who the media seldom acknowledges.
