Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review“an essential reckoning with the roots of the racial wealth gap in America.” — Publishers Weekly (starred review) “A compelling argument for long-overdue reparations—though much more than that alone.” — Kirkus Reviews “Ford’s forceful arguments and writing will compel readers to face the facts of the long history of exploitation and appropriation that have defined so much of America’s struggle with itself to give substance and meaning to its promise of 'freedom' for all.” — Library Journal (starred review) “Ford makes a clear case that the past is never over. The wounds inflicted by slavery have never healed, and he argues that they will continue to harm our country until we deal with them honestly. For many Americans, reading Of Blood and Sweat will be an excellent first step in that process.” — BookPage
