I am deeply grateful for McFeely's magnificent effort of thought, empathy, scholarship and imagination.\" -Roger Wilkins, Los Angeles Times Book Review (front-page review) In this moving and original work, William S. McFeely, one of this country's most distinguished historians, retells the history-and enters into the current-day lives-of the people who inhabit Sapelo's Island off the coast of Georgia, descendants of slaves who once worked its huge cotton plantations. It is at once a richly detailed work of historical reconstruction, a sensitive portrait of the lives of black Americans in this particular place and in our own time, and a moving meditation on race by a writer who has made its painful dilemmas his life's work as a historian.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51856211902752,"sku":"NEW0393313778","price":17.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71mzjcq2CLL.jpg?v=1781548225","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/sapelos-people-a-long-walk-into-freedom-0393313778","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
