- Synopsis
-
"At a time when the whole notion of meaningful racial integration seems either passé or under attack in America from both right and left, "Yazoo" is a reminder, with its warm human portraits and its deep feeling for our history as a people, that the South is still a truly unique land and has much to offer in leading America out of its racial impasse."
This moving book takes place during a time when integration was forced on public schools. The story takes place in the deep south on the edge of the Mississippi Delta. When the author of this book, Willie Morris, was six months old, his parents moved to Yazoo City, Mississippi, a small town on the edge of the delta.
