Sundown Towns: A Hidden Dimension Of American Racism | James W. Loewen

#Bookhaul! I got a Barnes and Noble gift card for my birthday from my mom and shortly thereafter they had a sale, so I picked up these and a couple ebooks. Woohoo! 🎉 📚

Librariana I remember hearing about sundown towns when I read a little bit more about the Green Book after reading

Librariana I also love how color-complimentary all of your books are to one another 😁☺️ 5mo

Hooked_on_books @Librariana I read about sundown towns in another book recently, which mentioned this book, and I just had to get it. It sounds like one of those hidden but important bits of our history. And I didn‘t notice the color coordination when I ordered the books, but started laughing when I unpacked the box and looked at them all together. I wonder if it was subconscious? 5mo

There are so many stories from our nation‘s history that need to be more well-known. I don‘t think I‘d even heard of sundown towns till recently, and this book is some thorough education. Further, we haven‘t fully reckoned with this pst and these things still affect us...

Considering the war on drugs and racism, this book should be a must read for any citizen of the US. It is a bit more research heavy then Loewen's other books for he does use many figures.
