I only wish such a book had been available fifteen years ago when I was in the early stages of researching my series of novels. Popkin has been deft and tactful in stitching together these excerpts, and as a result, he manages to tell a complete version of the Revolution almost entirely in the words of the people who experienced it - this book engaged me deeply.\" - Madison Smartt Bell, author of All Souls' Rising\"","brand":"The University of Chicago Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49400085709143,"sku":"9780226675831","price":21.36,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780226675831.jpg?v=1730469672","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/facing-racial-revolution-9780226675831","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
