From her ancestor Virgil to her cousin Veronica and her hand-sewn Mardi Gras memorial suit more than a century later, this history is one of triumphs and trauma, illustrating the ways people of African descent have created sites of endurance, belonging, and resistance. Johnson uses her grandmother's birthplace in East Feliciana as a prism to illuminate foundational, if fraught, aspects of US history including colonialism, slavery, war, citizenship, and unfinished freedom. The result is a portrait of the world in a family, a family in a region, and a region in the world that insists on the bristling and complicated relationships of people to place and creates a new understanding of what it means to be American.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Book Nook","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57919300108669,"sku":"9781009668323","price":27.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0539\/6525\/8945\/files\/9781009668323.jpg?v=1773241544","url":"https:\/\/www.booknookshop.co.uk\/es\/products\/9781009668323","provider":"The Book Nook","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
