This is an academic study, the published version of research conducted by the Black ASL Project. It's not a narrative read.
That being said, it's fascinating if youre into linguistics and race.

I really loved the history of Black Deaf people in the South, and also the description of the variation in this community. The dvd is also so helpful for seeing what the examples look like.

If we divide the book into history and structure, I really liked the history, but was less enthralled with the structure.
I'm a black, hearing, non-native ASL user.
As a doc student, I read a lot of research with APA formatted graphs. That's not where I go for pleasure most of the time. The information was wonderful, the examples as clear as they could have been in print. The book comes with a DVD that I've been unable to access, but that I'm sure would only enhance the experience.
The first time I came across this book I was citing it for a class so I read it differently. It's wonderful as a reference tool and accessible for people comfortable reading peer-reviewed journal articles.
