GATES, HENRY LOUIS, JR. Stony the Road: Reconstruction, White Supremacy and the Rise of Jim Crow. New York: Penguin Press, 2019.
Hardcover, dust jacket.
FINE FIRST EDITION, PRESENTATION COPY, INSCRIBED: "For Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, With deep admiration... Henry Louis Gates Jr." An excellent association between two giants of the fight for Civil Rights.
Henry Louis Gates, Jr. is one of the most important and prolific public intellectuals of the modern age. A literary critic and a professor of African and African-American Literature at Harvard University, Gates has published widely across many disciplines, and has even uncovered and published lost African-American novels of the 19th century. Stony the Road is a history of the Reconstruction Era and the backlash to it. This book was likely signed and presented to Ginsburg at the 2019 Library of Congress National Book Festival, at which both appeared.
