(2) YA Seven stories in this collection draw on the black experience in America, taking readers into the Deep South during slavery days through the Civil War and Jim Crow laws. The eighth (titular) story introduces a Spanish merchant who acknowledges his part in the African slave trade. While the prose in these compelling narratives is sometimes pedestrian, the complexity of each moment marks its power.
