My Southern Journey: True Stories from the Heart of the South by Rick Bragg

5.0

Oh so good!!! Bragg does a wonderful job of painting the wonderful aspects of the South (our rich dialect and landscape, and cuisine! Also, football...) while holding in awareness the aspects of our Southern culture which are less beautiful. While I listened to the chapters that discussed Civil Rights, I kept thinking, “yes, thank you!!!” because a portrait of the rich and beautiful South is incomplete without talking about our less beautiful role in the iniquities borne upon people of color. I highly recommend listening to the audiobook, narrated by Bragg himself, with a perfectly intact southern drawl.
