by Allman, T. D

  • Used

The site of vicious racial violence, including massacres, genocide, slavery, and the terrorist campaigns that undid Reconstruction, Florida is now one of our most diverse states, a dynamic multicultural place with an essential role in 21st century America. Allman reclaims this remarkable history from the mythologizers, apologists, and boosters.
