coming of age in mississippi by anne moody

When I was teaching at Antioch College several years ago, I used _Coming of Age in Mississippi_ as a counterpoint to Taylor Branch's _Parting the Waters_ in a seminar on the civil rights movement. One of your questions was dealt with extensively on another list recently and I have forwarded a number of the responses to you. She has been burned so much that she does not give out her address or respond to requests from her publisher Liss and Lauren Coodley.Īnne Moody does not reply to queries. Luker, Amanda Seligman, Pam Pennock, Krissi Jimroglou, Janet Davidson, Diana Lyn Laulainen-Schein, Janann Sherman, Charlotte Borst, Margaret Susan Thompson, Julia E.

In any case, I found it fascinating to read them all at once.

Some have been posted already on H-Women, some have not. X-POSTS FROM H-SOUTH AND RESPONSES FROM H-WOMEN Editor's Note: Thanks to Seth for putting together all these messages.

can tell what happened to her after the book.
