{"product_id":"9780393313772","title":"Sapelo's People: A Long Walk into Freedom","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"A searing metaphorical X-ray of a people battling to find space where they can become themselves. . . . I am deeply grateful for McFeely's magnificent effort of thought, empathy, scholarship and imagination.\" —Roger Wilkins, Los Angeles Times Book Review (front-page review)\u003cbr\u003eIn this moving and original work, William S. McFeely, one of this country's most distinguished historians, retells the history—and enters into the current-day lives—of the people who inhabit Sapelo's Island off the coast of Georgia, descendants of slaves who once worked its huge cotton plantations. It is at once a richly detailed work of historical reconstruction, a sensitive portrait of the lives of black Americans in this particular place and in our own time, and a moving meditation on race by a writer who has made its painful dilemmas his life's work as a historian.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Norton, W.
