Discussing Liberally Salt Lake City

.
Traditionally, each month’s “Reference Materials” section includes, inter alia, book reviews from –

The New York Times
The Wall Street Journal
The Washington Post

Yes, the NY Times did its duty.

The Washington Post, as is often their wont, refrained from providing a book review but, instead, published a transcript of an interview of the author about his book – this one conducted by the Associate Editor of the Wahington Post.

While the Wall Street Journal sandwiched a review of 4 books into a single article entitled “Holiday Gift Books: History -- A collection of new books and a reissued classic that examine and illuminate the black American experience” by a faculty fellow and writer-in-residence at the Center for the Study of Southern Culture at the University of Mississippi.

The WSJ “sandwich” of 4 books contains 10 paragraphs which have been numbered to simplify locating the sparse comments about “Half American.”

They start part way through para. 6, include all of para. 7, and share para. 10.
