Recensioner i media

...of interest not only for the local matter of South Carolina, but as one test whether 'race, class, and gender' can (to adapt Marx on the Confederacy) make a history and not just a battle-cry. McCurry offers an abunbance of insight, information and anecdote. She is a gifted historian, engaging large questions.
