About this book

Clint Smith’s How the Word Is Passed is an excellent study of America’s narrative of slavery and how it continues today. Historical places, plantation and prison, have been embodying the narrative of a racial construct and Smith is able to draw reflective accounts from his visits. Employing a mesostory and historical academese, this moving book encourages its readers to face the reality of America’s reality.

About the author

Clint Smith

Smith taught high school English in Maryland before writing full time, and How the Word Is Passed grew out of visiting nine places that carry the memory of American slavery differently: Monticello, Angola prison, a Confederate cemetery, a Manhattan burial ground, Goree Island. He interviews the guides as closely as he reads the plaques.
