Book Synopsis
Explores complex social issues through personal narrative. Jerome Morris does so by blending social-science research with his own memoir of life in Birmingham, Alabama. As Morris’s experiential narrative voice unfolds, the reader is brought on a journey of what life is like for people who live and die at the intersection of race and poverty.

Trade Review
Central City’s Joy and Pain is not just a story about events that took place several decades ago but is also well connected to the systems that remain in place for the perpetuation of Black oppression. Jerome E. Morris has done a great job of sharing his experiences with the broader community, and readers—not only in Birmingham and the South, but well beyond—will be enriched by the experiences and insights conveyed here." - Charles Connerly, professor emeritus of urban and regional planning, University of Iowa
